If you are looking for someone to guide you through the recruiting process Mr. Mark Helsel should be your first call. Mark is extremely knowledgeable and has been guiding kids through this process for years. He has hundreds of contacts in the coachingranks. With Mark’s guidance, my son became a highly recruited Division 1 recruit. Mark knows what the coaches look for and how they evaluate. As a professional baseball scout myself, I can tell you the things you will hear from Mark are what you need to hear. No BS! If you are not only wanting to play in college but professionally as well, I would highly recommend Mark.
Coach Helsel is only giving me 100 words (which isn’t nearly enough) so I’ll keep it short and sweet. If there is only one thing you get out of working with Coach Helsel. He’s going to tell you the truth and give you his honest opinion, whether you like it or not. Now, what you do with the truth is up to you. You can go take a long hard look in the mirror
and evaluate yourself, or you can leave and go somewhere else where they’ll tell you how wonderful you are; the choice is yours. I’ve witnessed and experienced first-hand the type of young men that Coach Helsel can help for player-development.
I am the parent of Kyle Datres. For 3 years, Kyle played for Mark Helsel and I had the pleasure to observe his interaction with his players, followers, and college coaches.
In that time. Mark was organized and calm in teaching the intricacies of college baseball, which enhanced each player's opportunity to be recognized.
He played for Coach Mike Fox at the University of North Carolina, and subsequently was drafted by the Colorado Rockies. Lynn Datres, father of Kyle Datres.

I played for Coach Mark Helsel’s teams for 3 years while in high school, the most critical time for a baseball player looking to play in college. Coach Helsel was invaluable in helping my family and me navigate the daunting recruiting process. I can’t imagine having to do so without him. He and his staff helped give me confidence in my abilities on the field, set a high standard for character off the field, and allowed me to confidently communicate with college recruiters. For that I will be forever grateful.

Mark Helsel is like a guide through the “Recruitment Jungle.” He coached my son from age 12, identifying both physical and mental weaknesses while teaching him how to carry himself on and off the field. His deep connections with college coaches give players real opportunities his word carries weight. Mark personally meets with coaches, building trust and credibility. He tailors plans for each athlete, helping them develop strengths and overcome weaknesses. With his proven track record, he ensures players navigate recruitment successfully. Having him by your side makes all the difference!

I would not be the baseball player or the person I am today if it wasn’t for Mark Helsel! He is one of the most trusted guys in the country when it comes to baseball, and helping guys get scholarships at the next level. Not only did Coach Helsel help me throughout my entire recruiting process, but he also helped me become a better baseball player physically and mentally. Coach Helsel also helped me become a better man off the field. When I met Coach Helsel 4 years ago, I told him my goal was to get a scholarship to play Division 1 baseball in the South. Coach Helsel said “That’s great, let’s make a plan for you to achieve that goal” I was All In! Coach helped me every step of the way throughout the entire process. After working my tail off, competing against the best competition in the entire country, and playing in front of many Division 1 coaches, this past summer I committed to play Division 1 baseball in the south.

In that time, I witnessed a true professional. Mark was organized and calm in teaching the intricacies of college baseball, which enhanced each player's opportunity to be recognized. Many talented players opened the eyes of coaches who arrived with scholarship offers. My son was just such a player. He played for Coach Mike Fox at the University of North Carolina, and subsequently was drafted by the Colorado Rockies. Mark Helsel is a major reason for Kyle's success. Mark knows baseball!

As a parent of a ball player, I got to know Mark Helsel over 4 years starting when my son was 13. He mentioned to me that if allowed to work together he would see to it that there would be development and growth for my son, as both a baseball player and human. They are intrinsically intertwined, and for me, this was a critical piece of information. Baseball as it relates to and teaches lessons on life. I learned to trust his judgment and allow his process to work. He is honest, straightforward, and compassionate about communicating with both the player and the parent. The recruiting process is fluid and complex.
He breaks it down and helps to make it very understandable and successful.

I first met Mark when I was 16 years old, and he played a vital role in shaping my recruiting journey. From day one, he provided me with the guidance, mentorship, and connections needed to navigate the competitive world of college baseball. His insight into the recruitment process, combined with his strong relationships with college coaches, opened doors I never imagined. Mark not only helped refine my skills on the field but also taught me the importance of mindset, discipline, and professionalism. I wouldn’t be where I am without his expertise, dedication, and genuine investment in my future. He is simply the best in the business.

Mark Helsel has made a significant impact on our son's success as a young man and as a leader. Mark’s system incorporates developing a strong character base and a focused, goal-driven mindset. Mark inspired our son to reach for the stars at an impressionable age. During his transformation, our son became locked in and laser-focused on the process of attaining his next-level baseball goals. As a result, he experienced success along the way and during his playing career. This is evident now more than ever with how he approaches his current goals. In addition, our son is now coaching and leading young minds and athletes who are driven to follow in his footsteps and beyond. As our son moves forward with his journey in life, Mark continues to be a key influence, mentor, and friend.
