3) Baseball recruiting is not like football recruiting. In baseball, you have to put yourself in front of a decision-maker in order to get an offer from them. Coaches do not fly up from southern locations to watch northern high school baseball in the spring. If you want to play in the south, for example, you have to find a way to expose yourself to southern coaches. In general, and obviously there are many exceptions, the best players play in the south.
Recently FAU coaches went to Indianapolis to watch an event. The HC went to the Northwoods league to watch a juco player from the midwest this summer.
One SEC team has an on staff paid scout who goes everywhere to watch players.
There is a lot of searching going on everywhere these days.
