Re: Remedial Question
Fenway. What would be your top engineering w baseball ranking? General engineering sense. Not degree specific. 50-50% ratio between education and sports. Pick from: MIT Cornell Cal tech Georgia tech Stanford Cal Rose hulman Rennselaer Worchester poly Cal poly slo Columbia Harvey mudd CO school of mines Swarthmore Penn Ucsd

Re: D1 Baseball + STEM Degree
Generally, only the best and brightest aim for STEM degrees; and a significant portion of those will change majors (like most college kids). For baseball players (actually all athletes), their teammates will probably have significant influence on the academic rigor your son may choose - and in a D1 environment that influence may not be positive. (As opposed to a Rose-Hulman or MIT squad. In D1, the service academies also are STEM schools.) So, when parsing a roster and you find that STEM...

Re: Postgraduate Year or Gap Year for Ivy League Recruiting (2019 Grad)
There are many Stem schools in D3. Some have already been Mentioned. One that is often overlooked is Rose-Hulman. They are always ranked very high in Engineering. Here is the ranking from US News. https://www.usnews.com/best-co...e-of-technology-1830 https://www.usnews.com/best-co.../engineering-overall The conference they play in is not exactly know for Rocket Scientists, however it is a Geographic fit. And they do reasonably well in there conference. They may not have the pedigree of the...

Rose-Hulman
I'm inquiring about the value of a degree from RHIT, the facilities, how they develop players, campus life, etc. I may be interested in going into a field other than engineering (economics, applied mathematics, data science), and would like to know how the non-engineering programs are. I plan on going to grad school after my undergrad if that's at all relevant. I've heard really good things about the coaching staff, and it seems like Rose has seen some success this past decade, and if anyone...

Re: Rose-Hulman
Rose-Hulman has an excellent reputation, mainly for engineering. I see that almost all the baseball players major in some sort of engineering, with a couple in math. There is an Economics major. I don't know about the baseball, though.

Re: Rose-Hulman
Neighbour's son went there and she raved about how well her somewhat ordinary (academically) son did there. Only complaint she had was the price. No info on baseball, sorry.

Re: Rose-Hulman
Appreciate the responses. Anyone have any personal experiences with the baseball program?

Did you not find any data for the summer teams or are you sure that no one plays summer league baseball?

Re: Wash U in St. Louis
They lost a few of their best players, in fact, one of the best MIF's and Pitchers. Both went to the MLB; the MIF Durbin went in 14th round as a junior at Wash U. Durbin also just went from low A to high A with Braves system. Great Hitter.

Re: Wash U in St. Louis
Both fantastic universities, you can't go wrong educationally, no matter the major. Curious that WashU was 34-6 and in the D3 CWS in 2021, and went 12-24 in 2022. They played a tough schedule. In 2022 AC Rosen had become the HC at Rose-Hulman, which was 28-13.

Re: D1 schools with great analytics departments...
Here is my purely subjective list of non-D1 programs (except for top three, nobody can argue this...intelligently) ...in case you he wants to play ball AND do STEM. Top of the class: Nobody even close to the top three 1. Caltech. 2. MIT. 3.. Harvey Mudd. (CMS) Next Level 4. Rose-Hulman 4. Johns Hopkins 4 Carnegie Mellon 5. Colorado School of Mines (yes look them up) Check them out: NECSAC Schools Trinity University (TX) Biased opinion but modeling engineering/science program after MUDD Emory...

Re: What should we expect after Showball?
This is such an interesting discussion because we all obtain different information from different sources at different times. I have some real world data points to offer that make me doubt some of the content above. My 2022 was admitted to four of your Tier 3 schools without submitting test scores. The 2022 had athletic pre-reads (different sport) at three of the four and lack of test scores was not identified as a problem at the time of the pre-read. (There was no pre-read or coach support...

Re: What should we expect after Showball?
This is really good. I would just be a bit more explicit re: Tier 1 and Tier 2 - the coaches at MIT, CalTech, UChicago, and Johns Hopkins do not have athletic chits through admissions. Meaning, the student has to be of an academic profile that they could get into the school without sports. And generally, the more sought after you are as a recruit, the more there is flexibility on the academic side except at those 4 schools. well done!

Re: What should we expect after Showball?
It's a couple days now, have you had any contact yet? I've read this with interest. My 2025 LHP has similar GPA stats; also goes to a highly rated HS; based on PSAT I think should SAT 1450+; went to Showball this summer to see if he fits in a D1 pond. He's been throwing 82-84; T85 a few times this summer. Very good secondary stuff but only threw 83 at Showball. While there, he had a dugout discussion with a D3 who was clearly selling. The next day, he got emails from 2 very high academic D3s...

Re: Time to get nervous about Ivy and/or D3 HA?
Hi. Welcome. I am going to be straightforward - 6''2" 180 lb RHP with a 3.98 uwGPA / 4.25 wGPA and playing multiple sports and being a nice, hardworking, coachable guy are all strong attributes. But throwing low 80s unless he's a low slot/submariner means he is probably not going to pitch in college, def not D1. And a 7.0 60 is not enough either. HS stats don't mean much since the level of play and competition varies greatly. Great idea to attend Showball and PTW and get updated metrics from...
