Senior All-Academic Tryout / Arizona Fall Classic
My son recently committed to a high academic D3 school. He's very excited about both the academics and the baseball program, however this is one of those schools that does not have "slots" for athletes. He has to get past admissions, and the school is extremely selective. I don't believe the coaches would have recruited him if he didn't have a chance, but it's far from a sure thing. His pre-read was not a slam dunk, but also not a "no". He'll be applying early decision, and that leads to my...

D1 Baseball + STEM Degree

He has recently received some interest from a couple of non-ivy D1 schools.
