Just in general, What do you say to a coach in an email? What types of questions do you ask him, and what information do you tell him about yourself?

Questions to ask, (others will probably have many more to add):
Does this school have a baseball camp or showcase?
Ask for details, etc.
Will the coach or an assistant be attending any camps or showcases that you will also be participating? You may want to register for a camp if the school that you like is represented.
If you are interested in walking on, do they encourage players to do so? Although if you are looking/hoping for athletic money, this could hurt your cause.
As for providing info about yourself:
Class year, GPA, SAT/ACT score, position(s) played, any honors - academic and athletic, academic interests.
Hope this helps.

You need to read the post I made to tigerfan_09 regarding this very issue.
Don't ramble in your email and waste time talking about your dream of playing for a program like theirs. They know you are saying that to everyone.
Again, read my post to tigerfan_09.
