Service Academy's are great engineering options. The HC's fully support all degrees pursued and have tutors travel with the team. Play D1 baseball, jump out of planes, fly gliders, fly fighters, be an astronaut....What's not to like. Go AF.

Yup. The size will also be very attractive, but even a 5'11" LHP throwing 87 will get all sorts of D1 interest. There gets to be a certain point where you actually have to show that you can pitch, but a 2022 LHP who has touched 86 is intriguing. BTW, start working on those marks and test scores! That can also help out a coach/RC a lot, and will widen out the schools that he can have appeal for.

KNOWNOTHINGDAD sorry for hijacking your post. I'm thinking we will run into eachother at a PBR event in January (nothing listed on website right now but they've had them the last two years) Everyone else, thank you for all your insight and the great schools to start what will probably be a long list of potential matches. Gov, for the longest time Lefty wanted to go to an academy. Until he found out he'd have to jump off something high. Kid doesn't like heights. Perfect fit other than that...

University of Texas-Dallas always seems to get overlooked when list of engineering schools that play good baseball gets tossed around. Not sure why it stays under the radar in terms of public awareness, but it does. Top notch engineering school and very good D3 baseball. Some baseball players are engineering majors and coaching staff will make some accommodations for them.

Ohio Northern And as previously listed Harvey Mudd

My kid thinks KnowNothing's son is D1. Two caveats - he's 15 years old and he catches him on a travel team. Joking aside, I wanted to say that I turned KnowNothingDad onto this website and y'all didn't disappoint with your advice and info. Thanks to all.

Both Fenwaysouth's and my son played college baseball and received engineering degrees. The list of schools above is a good start, Cal Poly and UCDavis both have had engineering students on their rosters, plus the Ivy's, and Stanford. We found out late in the process that STEM and D1 baseball is pretty much incompatible, except for a few cases and it almost requires that the player be a pitcher as they can come and go and get their work in independent of the team. Unless your son is a...

I echo BOF. Many regular students start; most switch. Add in a sport and. . . . . I will add, however, that those that successfully traverse this crucible are amongst the most sought after graduates.

This became a major factor in my son's recruiting journey. He wants to do civil engineering (eventually architecture) and play baseball. Once he started serious conversations with coaches, he learned quickly how critical it would be to find a school where this combination was supported by both coaches and faculty. Some HAs (even an Ivy with a strong engineering program) told him they "don't really have any engineering majors on their rosters"... I agree with Gov that the service academies...

Lafayette College also has several engineering students playing on the baseball team. However, you may want to make sure whatever college he is interested in, that they will accept his college credits earned during high school.
