I have little to add to this as my son will almost certainly be playing football and not baseball in college but the one thing I always take a little exception to is the stats of how few kids are able to play college baseball (or football or basketball etc). Those raw numbers, which I have always seen more as 6% but no matter, are entirely misleading. Take my son for the first example. He could definitely find his way on to some D3 roster maybe even D2. But instead he is probably going to get a free education from football (knock on wood). This is just one of many reasons kids opt not to play in college, cause they go for another sport instead. If you have some ability and a desire to 'play' college baseball or just be on a team your chances are much nearer 100%. It is a known fact at some lower D3's they will routinely trade a uniform for tuition dollars. So don't sweat it if your son wants to play there will be a place for him somewhere!
