Re: First time attending a PG event - My perspective and advice
I'd like to echo Vector. We attended the 2010 PG Underclassman World Championship at Ft Myer, our first PG event. My son pitched two innings and had more scouts observing than all of last summer. That doesn't include any scout that wasn't wearing a college shirt. Another observation--the games we played against with teams having tons of talent, had scouts tripping over each other. This was a great opportunity for our kids to get exposure. This isn't a plug for PG, only a testimony from one...

Re: Punishment for the crime
Half-game suspension for what I view as a criminal act has turned Urban Myer into a national laughingstock and the butt of many jokes on ESPN the last 24 hours. It's also the second time in the last month he's been exposed as a win-at-all-costs coach unconcerned with consequences. The first was when he chose to play Tim Tebow with a concussion, risking the kids health and professional future. JMO.

Re: Lets Talk Pitching - Ask/Discussion about pitching from professional instructor
Recovery is a new area of interest in optimal athletic performance and while I was one to bust baseballinstructs chops on running, there is some evidence that recovery is enhanced by some form of aerobic activity. I think we should separate "long distance running" as a training method for baseball vs going for a couple of mile run the next day after pitching. My guess is that it does more good than bad, and you don't need anything other than a pair of running shoes, which make it practical.

Re: 2017 grad great grades
The coach at Stanford said he was going to be recruited by them sophomore year but I guess Coach Marques is retiring. Arizona was interested but they changed coaches too. We went to visit Stanford and Cal. I think he is resolved to pursue his academic career there or at Notre Dame and walk on. He went to camps at Santa Barbara , Creighton and the university of the Pacific. No comments by any of the coaches. He has applied at UCLA STANFORD CAL NOTRE DAME AND SANTA BARBARA .

Re: 2017 grad great grades
Welcome to the site. I am puzzled as well. What position does your son play? Congratulations on the academic piece as no matter where your son plays (if late recruit or a walk on) he'll have to balance the sport and the classroom. From the looks of the schools (except ND) it looks as though his interest is out West.

Re: 2017 grad great grades
Big, IMHO, it's almost certainly too late for your son to get noticed by the type of schools you're talking about. So the question comes down to baseball vs. academics. If academics are number one, and he apparently has a good chance of getting into schools like Cal and Notre Dame, then he's a really fortunate kid and he should go to the school that is the best academic fit, and also financially feasible, and then look into walking on when he gets there. But Cabbage is correct -- It does...

A 6.99 60 makes him a corner player at the D1 level. Does he hit for power? Just curious, what is his height and weight? Was he on a travel team that played exposure tournaments? If so, the coaches should have been able to help place him.

Re: 2017 grad great grades
It sounds from your post that your son has been exposed to coaches. The PG tournament and the three D1 camps he attended should have given him a real idea of what his chances were to play D1. Did he reach out to the coaches before he attended the camps? Did he follow up for feedback? You say he never heard from any of them. Hopefully he did not operate on the assumption that schools would come running to him and that he did not have to initiate the contact with coaches. By what you have said...

While it appears he has great versatility, a stud SS doesn't get moved to the OF if he is a true standout IF. He has been in front of plenty of coaches but they aren't...

Re: 2017 grad great grades
From the academic side, IMO you have not applied to enough schools to ensure an overwhelming chance of admission. In this day and age, Stanford is less than a crap shoot (he has great grades and scores and the ethnicity may help) and as an out of state applicant to the UC system he has a hill to climb. His score likely get him into ND as a regular student (where he could try to walk on). But top tier schools are hard admits for regular (non-athlete) applicants - so it's a numbers game with...

Re: 2017 grad great grades
If I was in your shoes...... Your son has a "hook" with his academics. If he really wants to play college baseball he should be calling some of these high academic schools to see if they will allow a late application. If they allow it, I would also reach out to the coach to take his temperature. No guarantees. My assumption is the smaller the school, the more flexible they will be. Yes, it is a tremendous longshot. The bottom line is your son will be trying to walk-on somewhere if he really...

The Notre Dame opportunity sounds fantastic from an academic standpoint. If he were my son, I would say that would decide it if he gets it, then he would just focus on trying to make the team as a Walk-on. It certainly would help your son to contact the HC and let them know he is interested in one of the 8 Walk On spots and with his grades and potential for success at ND, they will certainly give him a look (no doubt all of the scholarship spots are filled now). They want a strong team GPA...

There's a lot of great feedback already. As a Notre Dame grad, I can attest that the school is a pretty special place. The average admit ACT score last year was over 34.

I don't have a good way of judging your son's baseball ability. However, with the exception of perhaps considering applying to a "fallback" school, I think the schools that your son applied to are perfectly reasonable and he is likely to get in to one or more. Sure, Stanford is always a stretch, but with a 35 ACT (and GPA to match, and Mexican-American to boot) your son should be in decent shape at the others.
