I don't know if this was mentioned yet but you need to know your baseball player and what he will be able to (or want to) handle once he's IN college. The time commitment required is no joke at any level, but it's pretty ridiculously heavy in D1, with no real breaks to speak of. Trying to balance this with academics can be grueling; I think my kiddo was pretty sleep-deprived and had a cold most of the first two quarters in his freshman year!
