We only considered D1. Simply put you have a 4 year experience and as a pitcher he wanted to face the big name schools.
We also only looked at schools that were warm weather, non rural and made a large scholarship offer.
Now my son has hung up his cleats by his choice and his terms, we made some great choices. No debt, great experience and memories that will last a life time. Met his fiancée at school and has an unbelievable amount of friends.
