Re: Postgraduate Year or Gap Year for Ivy League Recruiting (2019 Grad)

FeelGood - For the incoming 2018 class, Columbia took its "preferred 8" (for lack of a better term) plus two ballplayers were told that they would get no admissions help, but if they were accepted, they would effectively be on the team. Both got in and are on the squad. This was an exceptional class of recruits and there was not much separating the 8 from the 2 adds.

91 mph—can you pitch? 88 mph fastball should get you a look

Going to a JuCo at less than 100% healthy is a recipe for disaster. Good JuCo baseball is WAY more competitive than most people realize. Post grad or gap year are your options.

My son got injured the first game of travel post junior summer. All the schools who wanted to see how much he improved from the previous summer disappeared. He chucked the sling (separated shoulder surgery from falling while rehabbing from torn MCL/PCL) two weeks before senior high school season began. He had a good season. But he wasn’t college prospect strong. My son had nothing to gain academically with a PG year. So the strategy was to get stronger over post senior summer and play Legion...

With a JUCO he’s using up a year of NCAA eligibility. With post-grad he is not. D1 coaches are always looking for pitchers who throw 90+. If you choose the JUCO route, I’d advise being extremely careful as to which coaching staff you choose, and make sure they are on the same page as far as how many innings they think is appropriate for an 18-19 year old coming off of Tommy John. And do your research as far as whether you can trust what they say. If it was my kid, coming off of TJ, I would...

Post Grad or Juco for a 2021?

Baseballin ·
My son is a 6'0 190lb 2021 RHP. He is rehabbing from TJ and had surgery almost a year ago. He is recovering nicely, but it is a slow process. He had D1 looks before the injury and 91mph fastball but with TJ and Covid he's been advised to look at Post Grad programs instead of JUCO so that he can develop. What advice would you give? Will D1 coaches look for players from JUCo before post grad programs? Thank you.

NCAA D3 Eligibility

Mg19 ·
Hello, I am currently a freshman in college and am very certain I want to grad school to get a PhD after undergrad. I am currently enrolled at a division 1 school playing baseball on the club team in the ncba. How does division 3 eligibility work in this situation if I were to pursue baseball during grad school at a d3 and if anyone has any experience with this I would love for a reply or dm. Thank you

But he's D1 now thus the clock starts on 5 consecutive calendar years I would think. Not sure how it all works when you transition that to D3 but too many unknowns. I think just play club!

Agree with most of that Gunner, but he has a little more flexibility at D3 bc it’s 10 full-time semesters, not 5 consecutive calendar years. So if mixing in a part-time semester or a semester off would fit into his academic plans, that could prolong things. Lots of unknowns for a freshman, but good to know the rules in advance.

Pretty sure when he gets to D3, they apply the D3 rules to his academic history. Definitely worth verifying, though.

The teams are separate, but the entire institution belongs to the NCAA. They're protecting the student athletes from themselves [sarcasm]. Stupid rule, IMO. See 14.02.6 Intercollegiate Competition.

You will need a waiver to be eligible at the D3 level if you receive your undergrad degree from a non-D3 university. Also, if your D1 university sponsors an NCAA baseball team as well as the club team that you're playing for, be aware that if you compete for the club team for 4 years you won't have any NCAA eligibility remaining for the D3 school.

Again thank you all for the help it's been really insightful. Since I have had previous contact with a specific coach as I was recruited for undergrad but didn't get in, would it be beneficial reaching out to the coach if he had any information about eligibility requirements?

Thank you all for the information. How does playing club impact your ncaa eligibility since it is a separate thing?

The bigger gaiting factor for you is the clock. It seems your clock to play 4 years of baseball started when your education started (and you have to play all 4 years of ball in a 5-year window). Based on these facts, you could play 3 years of club in undergrad and then hopefully get a waiver and play 1 year when you get to grad school if you go right after graduation. 1 year is the max you can save for graduate school due to the clock. Given the rules as set by the insane NCAA my advice to...

I don't think you would be eligible because you would be considered a graduate transfer and D3 grad transfers must be transferring from another D3 school. I think it's designed to prevent higher level athletes from playing D3 after playing D1/D2 as undergrads, but unfortunately you fall into the same category. See section 14.1.9 of the D3 manual. Beyond that issue, you would still be subject to the "four seasons of participation spread over 10 full-time semesters" eligibility rules. Your...

It's great that you have this academic goal as a freshman, and I suggest that, if you haven't done so, you start talking to your professors already about your PhD goals. But you're missing some important points. D3 baseball has practices or games six days a week in season. PhD programs are also really intense; graduate classes or TAing are often scheduled in the late afternoons and evenings. That would conflict with baseball. No PhD program would excuse students from classes or teaching...
