Unfortunately not all the great high school baseball and softball players will play at the collegiate level. Here are some cold hard facts from college baseball insiders:
- There are approximately 1,100 NCAA & NAIA collegiate baseball teams.
- In 2015 there are over 470,000 high school baseball players.
- Approximately 90% of all high school baseball players will not play baseball at the collegiate level.
- There are more than 380,000 high school softball players.
- It's estimated that 92% of high school softball players will not play collegiate softball.
The best way for 2015 top high school prospects to increase their chances of playing at the collegiate level is to leverage multiple resources. A complete approach to college recruiting includes a strong evaluation, creating a web presence, playing tournaments and showcases, and having respected baseball veterans calling and providing recommendations to collegiate baseball and softball coaches.
Recommendations from Baseball / Softball Coaches - these recommendations to collegiate coaches can come from high school and travel ball coaches.
Baseball / Softball Veterans Calling on a High School Athlete's Behalf - with their background and experience they try to establish credibility with a collegiate coach.
Participating at Nationals and Showcase Tournaments - these venues compile the top high school baseball and softball players in the nation at a specific point in time.
Travel Team Tournaments - provide competitive play amongst the top high school prospects throughout the year.
Skills Evaluations - provides a standardized rating of an athlete.
Web Presence and Marketer - the "table stake" for all high school baseball and softball players -- even the top 100 high school prospects - is to create and maintain a web presence. Specifically, every high school athlete should build a professionally designed recruiting profile so that they can easily share this information with college coaches.
Peter Buscemi, creator of recruitHSathletes.com says, "It's critical for every high school athlete--even the top 100 prospects in 2015-- to create and maintain their own web presence. Athletes should not delegate this task to a third party as no one will take ownership (create and update) this information better than an athlete. If an athlete delegates building their web presence to a third party they are dependent upon that service. And, if they decide to terminate that service, their profile could be at risk."
