Big League Mentors was founded in February 2010 by ex-Florida Marlin’s farmhand Ryan Bear. Bear was signed as a senior out of the University of Central Florida by the Marlins in the 30th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball first year player draft. Being a late round senior sign, Bear realized how easy it is for good college and high school players to slip through the cracks and not be seen by professional scouts and college recruiters. Bear also realized with the right exposure nearly every player can play at the next level, whether it be a small college or even the big leagues. According to Bear, “You just have to be in the right place at the right time. The key is to get the prospective player seen by the right scout or the right college recruiter.”

Enter Big League Mentors. BLM has created an online baseball showcase to solve the problem of players not getting seen.  BLM can build your personal profile to get you on the grid for college coaches and pro scouts to see.   Players that buy an evaluation are guaranteed instant exposure to a pro scout along with feedback. BLM actually brings the scouting network to the prospective player. Now a player that would have slipped through the cracks not only gets seen but receives valuable feedback as well.  BLM is not just a recruiting service.  We specialize in getting players seen and assisting them in the development and recruiting process.

Big League Mentors puts every player at the “Right Place at the Right Time!”

Big League Mentors is a  baseball recruiting company designed to use technology to bridge the gap between talented baseball players and college coaches/professional scouts. It is BLM’s goal to ensure that every “Mentor Player” has a chance to get seen.  Every player that purchases an evaluation gets guaranteed exposure to and receives feedback from a pro scout, thus increasing the player’s chances of playing at the highest possible level coinciding with his talent.

BLM was created for three reasons: to get players seen, to give players feedback, and to give players opportunity. The first two purposes were mentioned earlier. BLM’s third purpose is to create opportunity for the player whether at the professional or college level. BLM knows one of the worst mistakes a player can make is not having realistic goals. When a player receives a BLM evaluation he knows where he stands. With this information a player knows where to improve. After a player has been evaluated by BLM he will be able to market himself to colleges that coincide with his talent level. Imagine how much credibility a player will have with a college coach when he hands him a written evaluation from a pro scout. A BLM evaluation is a perfect instrument to open a coach’s eyes and create an opportunity.  Read more ...
