How many Richmond area players are playing D1 baseball in 2015?

Well, I must have a bit too much time as well, because I went back through 4 years of rosters to find you are very close:  James River has 8 current D1 players (6 ACC and 2 CAA). The one you may have missed bounced around a bit, but landed at an ACC school (Pitt).  3 others played D1 but are not currently rostered:  1 now at a NAIA, 1 at D3 and the other not playing any longer. 

I counted 9 from JRHS currently rostered at other levels.

BTW - those 8 current D1 players (plus the other 3) all played on the same team in 2011 that got to the state quarter finals. 

I see the Pitt kid now. Thanks. His HS wasn't listed - just junior college. I have no idea why I did this?! Just curious, I guess. Got started and next thing you know, I was knee deep. 

What is the borderline that defines Richmond Area players?

I believe we have 19 Richmond-area Cardinals alumni currently active on D1 rosters.

I'm including Powhatan and Dinwiddie in that count.  If you include King George it'd be 20.

Here's a tidbit for you:  Just three years ago, James River had 5 ACC-bound pitchers on its roster.  One never got to pitch in college due to physical issues, but the other 4 (Kirby and Roberts at UVA, Scheetz at Tech and Parnell at Pitt) were all there. 

Hard to believe they fell short of a state title, but Scheetz went down with TJ that year, Roberts struggled with some physical issues that year as well, Parnell was more a reliever, and Kirby couldn't pitch every single game.  They lost a slugfest in the state semifinal game if I recall correctly.  Had they found a way to win that one, they'd've had Kirby for the finale. 

Just goes to prove the old adage, you can never have too much pitching!

Closest thing to that roster right now is probably at Hanover.

The player at Yale is Drew Scott from Deep Run.  They also have Eric Crain at Morehead State.  

I hate to put the thought in my your head, but it would be interesting to see how many are rostered from Tidewater and NOVA, too.  

Just a quick glance at two schools: NOVA has 6 on UVA's roster, and 12 on JMU's roster. 

JB at UNC: that should count for 20, right?

I took a gander at ODUs roster tonight and they have 13 Tidewater players (with 7 more from other areas in VA).  They didn't have to look far for talent.  The catcher and pitcher tonight were brothers (twins?).

I can't even believe I took the time to do this, although it only took 10-15 minutes...but here you go...

I counted 63 Tidewater players currently on D1 rosters in Virginia.  This does not include kids who are playing at D1s outside the state of Virginia.  I'm not sure of that number, but there are quite a few.

Based upon my brief scan it appears that Virginia Tech is the only D1 program in the state with 0 players from the Tidewater area.

That will change next year with 3 going to VT from Tidewater in the 2015 class.

I can't recall the exact boundaries I used I think it was Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Powhatan….I'm sure I missed a few. I also counted up Richmond area kids at D2 schools in Va. (VSU & Wise) as well as ODAC. That number was 149 (to inc the D1 guys). My hunch is that it follows the population patterns (NoVa and Tidewater probably has more).
