Hello,
Someone recommended this site to me for recruiting help!
My son is a 2021 Middle Infielder and attended a mid-major D1 camp a couple weeks ago. He performed well and ended up receiving an offer from the college. It isn't a P5 school, but it has great facilities and he really likes the campus and the coaches. The offer is nice and includes athletic and academic money (depending on his final GPA and test scores).
This is a bit unexpected and he wants to commit, but I want him to make sure he has explored all options. I also know that the odds of receiving a scholarship to D1 baseball are very low - especially for a 5'10" 160Lb kid - so I also don't want him to lose out on it by dragging out his decision. His summer coach is recommending waiting to see if some of the bigger fish come around.
Here are his measurables (SS/2B):
5' - 10" 160lb (rising Junior)
60Yd - 6.69s
IF Velo - 85MPH
Exit Velo - 88MPH
He isn't going to be 6' and 190lbs so that is why I don't think the bigger D1 schools will show much interest. Does anyone have any opinions or guidance? We are trying to get as much information as we can from people that have been through this before.
Thanks!
