I know a number of kids that didn’t put the work into the classroom in high school and basically frozen themselves out of a lot of D3 programs. Good baseball players, but as you point out the bar is pretty high… and without the grades, you are going have fewer options.
Can never get reminded about that too much.
What is the general GPA range thresholds? That is something I haven't been able to figure out. 3.75 or better for high academics?
It's not just high-academics. All kinds of non-baseball financial aid available with good grades / ACT SAT scores.
For example, in Texas you can get most or all the out of state tuition waived for Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma publics with (roughly) 3.5 unweighted GPA and a 25 ACT score. Lots of good baseball in those states. Lots of Texas kids on the rosters.
I don't know the privates non baseball aid programs, but they're out there.
