Episode Details

What does it take to build a program with 447 wins in 15 years — and what does that winning standard mean for the players being recruited into it? In this episode of Dugout Dish, EMD Baseball sits down with St. John Fisher Head Coach Brandon Potter to break down his recruiting philosophy, what he looks for in players, and how he builds a culture that consistently wins.

What you'll learn:

Why Coach Potter prioritizes multi-sport athletes and what it signals about a recruit's athleticism and toughness

The specific leadership qualities he evaluates during the recruiting process

How he builds a player-led program where the staff genuinely invests in each athlete

Why every recruit should visit a college practice or game before making a commitment

What the speed and culture of college baseball actually looks like up close — and why it matters

Whether you're a player trying to understand what coaches are evaluating or a parent trying to help your son find the right program fit, this conversation with Coach Potter is packed with insight you won't hear anywhere else.
