Very few kids are recruited out of High School any more. My experience is that their are more college recruiters attending summer baseball than college. It's just like AAU Basketball, not much credence is put into HS sports because of the disparity of competition. AAU sports are meant to level the competition, thus college scouts get a better feel for the talent level.

Batting Average, win/losses, etc.. from HS man very little. I've helped several players put together their Player Profiles that should be sent to colleges beginning their Sophomore years, but no later than the summer prior to their Senior year of HS. PM me and I can get you a copy of a Player Profile that outlines the type of information that college coaches would like documented.

I will say this, if the athlete does not carry at minimum a 3.0, you may not get any money to play in college. I've seen kids that run in the 6's for the 60, but in the 1's and 2's in their school work who go on to take play beer league softball on Friday nights.

Also, be realistic. It is not very difficult to find a college team to play for. But don't be blinded to think you are DI material, there are very few of those athletes out there. In most cases, be agreeable to an NAIA or DII.

I think I set myself up. I appreciate all the PM's that I have been getting, but it has made it difficult to reply to all.

It spurred a thought though, and I am in the midst of putting together a website that hopefully provides the type of information needed to promote yourself of your son in an attempt to play Baseball beyond High School.

I'd love your feedback and comments. There is a "Contact Me" page that will allow you to post questions and comments. I am hopeful that this provides you a resource in putting together a Marketing package.

I hope to add sections on what to look for in a college. What research you need to do of the schools you are interested in. A how to in putting together a cover letter and a Player Profile. If anyone has ideas, please pass them on to me.

Please be patient as I build the site.
