You are ahead of the game and doing research which will serve you quite well.
So I'm assuming you're on the West Coast. Do you want to stay there? If not you need to get on teams that will be seen in areas of the country you wish to attend. Showcases are showcases and cost way more than attending a high visibility tourney against top talent and you get more than 1 day at it than a Showcase. ONLY go to a showcase IF you have something to show and stand out. They are not required in order to get recruited. You don't want to document an off or bad day. Way better places to spend your money.
Some decent guidelines on Height and weight, etc here. Nothing is in stone, but realism is nice to see. Remember all these coaches/scouts have a "type" they're looking for and you're speed dating at a future date to get noticed. (You have nothing to worry about now. NOTHING You have plenty of time and a few more years the Covid backlog will take care of itself as well. The big year as mentioned is summer SO/JR and JR fall. Unless you're a unicorn.)
As of late November this fall only 2% of the 2024s were committed (probably likely to change as well). You have plenty of time on the clock.
- 2022's 20%
- 2023's 8%
For now, focus on grades, speed, and eating. Keep Social Media clean. ALL of it.
As a position player you're going to need speed on your side to wow someone. Exit velo, etc. Play multiple sports if you can. They want ATHLETES. Document your breaks from baseball. Try other sports.
Get a baseball profile ready and underway for you to catalog and document your achievements, videos, tweets from 3rd parties, PG, PBR, FiveTool, etc. Great to have that at the ready to share with Coaches when you reach out and express interest. Keep it short and sweet. PM me and I'll share one with you.
Here is a short video with an offer from the Coach of Tennessee, Tony Vitello. Hopefully he is still honoring the offer to review and respond. Use the code word and get his impression of your email or message....
Another short video of what NOT to do.....
Still go out and be a kid, travel, have fun, sleep overs, go snow and water skiing, surfing or whatever and be a kid.
Again PLENTY OF TIME.
Only 7% of HS kids make it to college so keep a goal in mind and be realistic with it. Shoot for the stars and have multiple backup plans, schools, Divsions, etc. Talk and be polite to anyone that speaks to you. Practice, practice, practice talking to adults and communicating. Don't snub anyone interested in you. Tim McGraw says it all....Always be Humble and Kind. You never know where someone will end up and who they speak to. You have YEARS before you go to school and people change jobs and careers..... Hustle. Always.
Best of Luck. You're ahead of the curve being on here and researching. It and this website will serve you well.
