I know how good the top jucos are. Always wondered how they did their recruiting for non transfers.
He had a few low D1 offers and a lot of Juco offers including some top ones like Iowa Western and Walters. He chose Crowder for a few reasons. His showcase director advised him to over lower D1’s. They recruited him the hardest. Plus, they had a great track record of taking guys like him who topped 86-88 but could pitch and adding velocity and moving them up to higher D1’s or draft picks. Crowder is really good at identifying talent. They find a lot of guys who may not fit some of the D1 metrics but are good baseball players.
