I believe both perspectives (PABaseball and Lucky Cat) are equally true.
The small, HA D3 will be a great experience for those seeking a liberal arts education (which provides a great foundation for graduate school), being able to interact with intellectuals and getting intimate attention from professors. Baseball is likely available for most decent high school players
The big school experience gives you the weekend football experience, the band, fight songs etc., and a more focused education (Engineering, Business etc.), which helps you land a good job right away out of graduation. But, Baseball is only available to the very elite high school players.
Both can be great experiences...it all depends on what the student wants.
You have to be way better than “most decent high school players” to play baseball at Haverford. It is (probably) a top 50 D3 program.
Great school so I am not taking a shot here but...they aren't a top 50. They aren't even top 3 in the Centennial which is not the toughest league in the Mid Atlantic.
Most decent HS players can't play at good D3 baseball programs, which Haverford certainly qualifies for.
