The last thing to do is to attend a college "just" because of baseball. You are one injury away from being miserable in your college experience if it isn't a good fit. Find some place you are happy playing at and you feel comfortable at if baseball isn't in the picture.
HHH, That's it in a nutshell!
One potential issue that has not come up. Suppose a player ends up attending a school that is out of his league academically and he was initially was admitted under an athletic waiver. Then for some reason baseball does not work out, now the player does not have the athletic resources available to him and besides a baseball issue you now have academic issues.
Not only does the acadmemic fit include a selected major, but also the academic expectations of a school. Baseball and academics go hand in hand and if one is "out of wack" the other will not be far behind.
