He Recruits for the SEC (But Evaluates Like an MLB Scout) | Kentucky Baseball

"You can't make impulsive decisions... I learned that from an old scout. You have to sleep on it." — Austin Cousino In this episode of Coaches Corner, University of Kentucky Recruiting Coordinator (and former MLB Scout) Austin Cousino reveals exactly how he writes a scouting report on a high school player. He breaks down the specific traits he looks for beyond the stats—from body language to movement patterns. Coach Cousino also explains the new reality of SEC recruiting: why they are already video-evaluating the Class of 2028, how the 34-man roster cap forces them to be more selective, and the "3 Camp Strategy" that saves parents money while maximizing exposure.
