@NotABaseballGuy posted:He leads with academics in his introductory email (3.95 unweighted / 1340 SAT). With so many schools being test optional these days, we've been wondering about whether he should provide his SAT score to the coaches. Current leaning is that he should. Presumably, if the score is a problem, the coach will either ask him to take it again or just tell him to apply without the test score. LMK if anyone disagrees with this.
Your perspective is right. Our son's coach asked for it prior to pre-read in summer before his senior year and ultimately told him that he didn't need to report it when applying ED1. I don't know how far East your son would go, but there are a number of HA D3 schools in the midwest.
Video and email will serve him well until this summer, and then a good performance at either Snowball, Headfirst, or both will do him some good. Best of luck! Our son's experience at D3 has been good and the quality of baseball has been better than we expected.
