1stbase,
Perhaps if you were a little more specific I could assist you...where specifically are you looking and at what Division...any part of the state or say in and around Boston?

i was considering any part of the state and i was thinking D-1 or D-2

May I recommend this site for you:

http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ/state/

At this site you can pick and choose which schools you are interested in and visit their websites...was invaluable when my son was being recruited.
There are limited D1 schools in the state:
Boston College...Catholic
Holy Cross...Catholic
Northeastern
UMass...Amherst
Harvard
Only Amherst is D1
D2 schools are:
Stonehill...Catholic
Bentley
Assumption...Catholic
Merrimack...Catholic

Hopefully I did not miss any(I will be corrected)...the remainder of the schools are either D3 or do not possess a baseball team.
Bear in mind most of these schools require high SAT scores and strong academic performance while in high school...good luck

thanks

American International in Springfield is D2

Also, some of the D3 schools are some of the best academic schools in the country, ie Amherst, Tufts and WPI to name a few.

Mass has alot of excellent schools to chose from at all levels.

1st base; Let's add Wheaton,Western New England and Endicott great schools and a perennial (Wheaton especially)baseball powers. The state colleges also add to the mix. Worcester State is solid,as do UMass Dartmouth and UMassBoston. If Springfield fits academically they also have a very good program. Speaking of academics, Tufts is a tremendous choice. They love their baseball.
I would not rule out any D3 school in Mass. as an option if the fit works for you.

Add Brandeis and Babson to the list of top academic D3s as well.
