Reply to "D3: who has pull, slots, tips, etc?"

Some great questions which will have a lot of different answers. 

In my boys’ experiences, some coaches had pull and others didn’t.

For D3, I highly recommend prospective student-athletes engage their Admissions rep in addition to the baseball coaches. Expressing interest via email, campus visit, interview, visit at the high school or a college fair, etc. can be very helpful in the admissions decision. 

Very few guys showed up who weren’t recruited. Zero made the teams.

My boys purposely avoided programs that over recruit and/or that wouldn’t guarantee a Spring roster spot for at least the first year. 

My boys were both seen at Headfirst. The absolute best showcase for high academic kids IMHO. My oldest played D1 too. He was seen at some other places. 

Both boys were helped by baseball in gaining admission. Without question.  

Summer ball last year in the Valley League (awesome!) and the Golden State Collegiate League (not awesome).
