Never sacrifice academics for athletics unless you’ve been labeled by experts as a top pro prospect. Pro scouts will come to a high school game to scout a stud for the draft. But most college baseball recruiting occurs through summer ball and being on the best possible travel team.
Academics sets you up for a forty year plan (career) and the ability to earn a good living. A quality high school is more likely to get you into a quality college. Unless you’re a pro baseball prospect stud college baseball is only a four year journey. When the time comes to make that choice select the best possible combination of education and college baseball experience regardless of division level.
On a more harsh reality note, who said you’re a ‘25 college prospect? Have you been told by a baseball expert/pro scout or is it your desire?
Work hard. There are a lot of former 14u stars laying by the side of the “I’m going to play college ball” road. Think bigger, faster, stronger and best possible grades. You can also learn a lot from this site. Don’t be afraid to ask any question. There aren’t any stupid questions. There are only stupid results from failure to ask the questions.
Good luck.
