Coach’s Corner | Jordan Twohig: Recruiting, Development, and Competing in a Global Game at Hawaiʻi

On this episode of Coach’s Corner, host Walter Beede sits down with Jordan Twohig, Assistant Coach at the University of Hawaiʻi, for one of the most detailed and honest conversations families will hear about modern college baseball.

Coach Twohig breaks down what recruiting looks like in today’s portal-driven, international game and why development, durability, and daily habits matter more than ever. From playing and competing in paradise to managing a roster filled with athletes from across the U.S. and around the world, Hawaiʻi offers a unique lens into where college baseball is headed.

Key topics include:

• How Hawaiʻi recruits high school, JUCO, portal, and international players

• Why size, strength, nutrition, and durability are now non-negotiables

• The reality of daily competition inside a college roster

• What families misunderstand about “development” vs. exposure

• Why learning the game (situations, baserunning, decision-making) still separates players

• The importance of passion—not just for baseball, but for the college lifestyle

Coach Twohig also shares practical advice for younger athletes, including journaling, habit building, nutrition awareness, and learning how to build on strengths while working on weaknesses.

This episode is a must-listen for parents and players who want a real understanding of what it takes to compete—and last—at the Division I level.
