If Im good enough will colleges find me

The numbers, both baseball and academics seem good but who has seen you? Where have you played? What have you done to help yourself?


Coaches just don't show up at your door !

rh, go tp the main site page and take a look at some of the articles that will address your question. You'll need to put yourself "in context". The ideas are all there.

TR's right, coaches don't just magically know who you are. Do you play on a team other than hs? Have you showcased? Have you contacted any schools, gone to any camps....etc,etc,etc.

Also its not all about them finding you, you also have to put forth the effort and tell them who you are.

Try a local or regional showcase. It does't have to cost a lot of money... the size you are, with a mid-80's fastball and good grades. Someone will notice you.

To follow the theme of what has been said, you will get out of the recruiting process what you put into it. It is only a small percentage of high school players who get to sit back and wait for offers, just as it is a small amount of working adults who get to sit back and wait for corporate recruiting firms to find them and offer them jobs. When I worked as a recruiter coordinator at a top ranked college program in Texas, the majority of my freshman class would consist of student-athletes who expressed THEIR interest in us, not the other way around. The same hold true for me now in my role in the corporate world. Put your info out there so that it gets seen by the people you want to see it. And as I instruct my salespeople: Follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up, follow up, and follow up. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the results that a little extra effort can give you.

TSfan made a post. Pick some schools and check out there baseball web sites. Learn as much as you can there and go to work. Create a Player profile. Mail it out to these schools. Consider going to camps at schools you have an interest in. A bit of elbow grease and off you go.

Did you hear this one: The prettiest HS girl who wants to go the HS Prom, will NOT be asking YOU out?

Might it be time (or way past time) to ask?
