Next Step for recruitment

Hello, Senior Pitcher! You've come to the right place to get some advice. Welcome to the HSBBW!

You're idea to email coaches is a good one. I would advise emailing the coaches of all the schools you've already been admitted to plus others that interest you. Make sure to contact many types of programs (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO), as you can't be sure at this point who will be interested in you.

For ideas on what to say, visit this portion of the website:

Pay special attention to the "Recruiting Timeline" (highlighted in green) and "For Players, Parents and Coaches" (the top listing highlighted in black).

Being a senior, you have your work cut out for you. You might want to attend a Christmas camp at a school that really interests you. Also, check out www.perfectgame.org and see if there is a showcase you can attend.

Being a pitcher, you will have a better chance than most at finding a place to play, as pitchers are always needed. What is your size (height, weight, frame) and what is your current velocity?

Best wishes as you get started!

What you need is a great spring on the mound

Get yourself to some Hs Showcases, trust me, no one cares one bit what you did your last HS season at a HS Showcase, they can see for themselves either you can play or you cant. Show your fastball and brealing stuff, it is any good people will call if not they will not.

I am 6 foot 1, 165 lbs. and lean to athletic build. I throw low to mid 80's but i dont consider myself a fastball oriented pitcher. Of course it is neccessary, but i like to work in my breaking balls and splitter. My slider is probably the most break and movement. And although my fastball isnt the most heat ever i am good at hitting the corners and my targets.

As I am sure you are aware, being in Monterey you are near enough to several D-l programs to attend camps - you can go on the university websites, athletics, then baseall, then camps to see if any of them are offering upcoming camps. Usually the pitchers pay less since they usually only pitch one day of the camp. Most camps are not invite only at this time of year - if you/your parents can afford it try to go to a couple!
USF, Cal,Stanford,SJSU,Santa Clara, get yourself out there.

iheartbb - Do you think its imortant or valuable for a JC player looking to transfer to attend these camp or is it more geared to HS players

I would check the rules regarding JC players attending camps/showcases etc, especially during the JC school year

BBALL2 - You may also want to attend a DII prospect camp, as you may know there is a camp at the relatively new program in Montery:CSUMB
