@adbono posted:I have seen your posts over the past months and I have seen the video of your grandson that you have posted. I’m going to give you my opinion based on my own personal experience and I deal with this stuff a lot. First of all, Preseason All American honors are handed out like donuts. Unfortunately it doesn’t mean much. Four year schools have crowded rosters and (for the most part) have already recruited the 2021s that they are really interested in. There is all the difference in the world in “we want you” & “we are willing to take you.” You don’t want to be in the latter category. IMO your grandson is a JuCo prospect and that’s the path I would recommend. I hope you are pursuing that option.
2021 Roster insights are pending.
Here are some data points:
In 2020, there were 73 California freshman (primary position 1B) that were on college baseball rosters.
*** Colleges might list 1B as Infielders
Here are the states they were located.
Most played in the California JUCO (CCCAA)
Western State Conference had the most freshman 1b

2018 Insights
Your grandson should check out the Pipeline of the JUCO Program.
Good luck
