Research resources for College Pitching programs/coaches
I am working to help my son (2018 LHP) research different school's programs and pitching philosophies. I am not super versed and there may be very obvious places to go but I am really not seeing what were are looking for. We get to the athletic sites, search some bio info on coaches and very rarely will find a good local article on the pitch coach or some extension of a low ERA school. For instance - which programs are just looking for big and velo? Say 6'5" FB 102mph? For my son that would...

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Ohio
So, CBI, all these stats are interesting, but they are kind of cluttering up the board. Which of these numbers do you thing are most interesting or significant? # of college players: estimated number of hs seniors? % instate vs. % out of state? % D3 vs. % juco? Do you see meaningful trends between regions or something like that? In other words, what do you think we should be taking from all of this? That would help us to look at all the stats.

Anotherparent, this is a top level view. When you are saying these topics are cluttering up the board, please explain. Are you being forced to review the topic? What state are you from? How far are you into the research process? What are your target schools? Has that schools recruited from your state in the past 3 years?

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Ohio
I love data! I saw some interesting things - % of seniors/college players was quite different from state to state, for example, so was % in jucos. I was interested to know what you think we should all be taking from this data, so thanks for your answer. I love the keepplayingbaseball blogs, those are really useful references. What I meant by cluttering is that all these posts are bumping others out of the topics bar. But it's all good.

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Ohio
Thanks for posting these, CBI. I'm intrigued by the "country map" charts in particular and think it's one of the most telling visuals and helpful tools I've seen yet for someone in the recruiting process. It may not have helped us so much since California seems to be the only state (so far) where there are significant numbers heading out beyond the "neighboring states" radius. But, boy, if I lived in any of the other states posted so far, I would be paying serious attention to this. Of...

I assume the position chart is their position in college? I'd be curious to see the HS position. There are very few SS's, which would make sense, since not many college teams have a freshman SS. It would interesting to see the "main" position of those same 709 kids on their HS team.

It is their primary position. Many colleges use generic terms: IF for all infield positions OF for all Outfield Positions

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Dominican Republic
Not to shoot holes in your data, as it is usually pretty good. But in this case your numbers on Dominican players on college rosters is really on the low side. Dominican players populate JuCo rosters from coast to coast. They are willing to play almost anywhere and JuCo locations that are hard to recruit to depend on them as a crutch. There were close to 20 Dominican players on the 2019 roster at Western Oklahoma State College in NJCAA Region 2. The majority of JuCo rosters have a least one...

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Dominican Republic
Adbono, I understand, this is always the case with JUCO information. Are they from Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico? Here are a couple of points: 1 - The demographics are only for freshman, otherwise the estimate is 214. Note, Collegebaseballinsights does not impute data it can't verify. E.g - Western Oklahoma website lacks certain information, secondly many of these players you will not find on Perfect Game or Prep Baseball Report, thus those specific players would be flagged as 'UNK'.

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Georgia
Thanks for this. About the distribution by position...how should you read that? Of the 684 kids, less than 20 were third baseman? How is each kid classified position wise? It seems like it is a tough road for a third baseman. (As well as any other infielder just classified at a specific infield position)
Reply
Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Georgia
State participation insight is based on what is listed on the team roster, which is normally the primary position. Many schools normally list players as infielder or mid-infielder vs specific position. Remember, this only represents 2019 freshman. Below is a list of all players from Georgia that are listed as infielder. In my humble opinion, I would look at the patterns for the last couple of years. E.g. Georgia 2018 Freshman by Position For the most accurate insights it is best to look at...

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - California
When I look at the huge number of CA players in Juco, it makes me wonder some unknowable things, like how many of them go on to play at 4 years schools, how many tried and failed to get slotted at 4 year schools before they went Juco, and also how many might have gotten 4 year commitments had they looked out of state and/or outside of D1 for playing options.

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - California
If you look at the patterns over the past couple of years, you will see a trend. School will rather state local, you know that out of state $$$ issue. My limited understanding of California JUCO (CCCAA) is free, thus the objective is to come out with little to no debt With respects to JUCO traceability, we provide the insights from a JUCO perspective, thus in theory, College Baseball Insights could answer at the State Participation Level (like how many of them go on to play at 4 years schools )

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - California
Not free, but cheap. I believe all CA Jucos are $46 per unit in state, plus some also have a fair amount of FA to spread around, and I know of at least one that is free for first year students right now.

Rounded to $50 that is $750 per semester or $1,500 for year. UCLA is about 8x this for in state at $13k. Full boat room/board and fees is $35k. Two things that means to me - college costs are out of line with what they should be and why would anyone not go the JUCO route without an overwhelming reason?
Reply
Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - California
We have a son at a UC. Our cost is more like $38k. Almost half of the grads from my son's HS end up at the nearby JUCO, which has a great reputation, as well as a successful baseball program. If you do well, you have a slot at UC. It works out great for many of them.

24 played D1 in 2019. You don’t have any players designated for Texas. Connor Aube played for UT- Arlington. You don’t have any players designated for Rhode Island. Jackson Coutts played at URI. You only have two playing in New York. I can think of four off the top of my head. Reese and Robbie Armitage are at Marist. Brandon Hall is at Wagner. Griffin Watson is at Fairfield. You have three players playing in the Little East. Southern Maine is a ranked D3 powerhouse in the Little East. They...

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Connecticut
Not disputing, but 290 seems like a high number for CT. PBR lists 117 from the HS class of 2018, and much fewer on PG (~50). That means less than half the college bound players have gone through a PBR or PG to get recruited. Of the 117 on PBR, 48 are listed as going to D1, so the vast majority of D1 use a recruiting service like PBR (although PBR will often create a profile when they know of a commitment)

Oh no. I'm sorry. I wasn't talking about your post. I really find all this interesting and appreciate the info.

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Tennessee
This is really good information. I think your assumption that 25% of HS players are seniors may be on the high side. Many large high schools have a Varsity, JV, and a freshman team ( or a JV2). Considering that seniors can only play at the Varsity level, and the entire Varsity isn’t made up of seniors, I would calculate the number of seniors in the program to be more like 20% - maybe even a little less.
Reply
Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Tennessee
I've seen blogs stating no more than 25%, thus I used it as a default. National Federation High School Survey only counts varsity players for their participation statistics. Here are the numbers with 20% would be ~1,775. Thank you for the feedback.
Reply
Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Tennessee
But if these numbers are only varsity players, then the % of seniors would be higher. Last year our varsity was 50% seniors, the year before 30%, never less than 25%, and often more around 40%. The underclassmen were mostly on the freshman and jv teams, with a few on varsity.

Re: 2019 College Baseball Participation Demographics - Tennessee
There are 375 high schools in Tennessee, using 20% to 25% is consistent across the country. Remember, the objective is to provide an rough estimate of # of players per high school class. The only why to be specific would be to have high school data, e.g MaxPreps. Note, not everybody uses Maxpreps
