I am a Junior in High School (class of 2012) and I have a few questions if anyone could help. On September 1st, I received my two first official letters. One of them asked me to mail back a questionaire. I am curious about when to write my first letters to my top 5 or 10 schools. I have heard that I should wait a while longer, but I have also heard it is much better to start now because it is prime recruiting time for college baseball. Also,what should I include in the letter. Should I write it, or should my high school coach? Thank you!

Welcome to HSBBW!

Congratulations on getting interest from college programs! I find it interesting that all the programs did not request questionnaires from you to establish or complete their recruiting database.

In my opinion, you should have already sent letters to the programs you are interested in.

You can find sample letters on this site (under the tabs to the left under recruiting tips).

You should write the letters to the programs, if your high school coach has previous contacts the programs, he can follow up after you have established yourself as a recruit they are interested in.

Good Luck and enjoy the ride!
Thank you for giving me the link to the recruiting tips, it helped a lot. I feel a bit confused on some of the college interest i have been getting. A top D1 program has been mailing me often and they were even in the CWS two years ago.I can't really tell if this is serious and if I should attend camps of theirs. What is some advice you could give me on that?
Ohiobb,

You may want to examine the nature of the mailings you have been receiving, if they look like they are general mailings vs personalized, it may mass produced and sent to a mailing list of recruits.

If you are interested in them and you are confident that you have the ability to play at the school and you are interested in them for baseball and academically, step up the correspondence to measure their true interest.

Good Luck!
