Son's college coach had several pre-reads (you give him an unofficial copy of the transcripts). I thought keewartson was reaching too far academically, but he proved me wrong (having brilliant baseball players on your team makes you want to keep up academically).
There was a very good player from our HS that was committed to an middle of the pack baseball ACC school. The coach had the player keep taking the SATs to just to break 1000. Each school is different.
The coach at the school should be providing information to the player for the schools minimum requirements. Several schools will get "passes" for good players on the academic end. But don't let that fool you....the player needs to stay eligible not only with the NCAA but with the school to play.
If you commit, the coach will usually require the players to apply early decision (ED). The coach sends a list of the incoming freshmen over to admissions. (In the olden days about 12-15 years ago the athletes applications were on a different colored paper to quickly identify them).
