European pitcher, few questions.

Here is a web site that has the various college summer leagues around the country. Many usually have college coaches place their players but some have information as to how to be a player.

There is a drop down with the various leagues. Many of the leagues start to look for players pretty soon so this is a good time to start to make contacts.

Good Luck!

Dave;

what country do you live? Are you interested in joining our team in Australia? This is our 25th year in International Baseball

Dave, who are you playing for currently? Your level of experience will have a lot to do with where you could be placed.

First off thanks for the reply's.

I'm from The Netherlands.
Over here we do not have college's to play for, it's all amateur.
I play in the in the highest league possible for 21U.

We have had some Austrian players on our summer teams but they struggle to compete. Depending on your birth date you might be a junior or senior player.

December '88

I believe that would make you a JR but if you are good you could play SR. SR is full of college and ex pros depending on which of the 3 leagues you would be in.

What is the difference between a JR and SR ?
Not too familiar with the names being used by American students.

What will be the difference in level of play ?

Dave,

I'm an American with lots of first hand European baseball experience. If you pitch, with success, in the Netherlands' top U21 league, you can pitch many places across the U.S.

I urge you to also consider the possibility of playing collegiately in the U.S...... particularly at a U.S. college associated with the N.A.I.A. (a university-level athletic federation) or perhaps at a 2-year junior College (J.C.)

A baseball scholarship could cover nearly all of your college costs.
