Knowing how to navigate and participate in the college baseball recruiting process has gone beyond the mundane and entered into a fine science. There is a method to the madness and every player and parent needs to know the protocol, the responses and set their expectations at a realistic level. While it has been said that they aren’t on par in their search for high school talent as compared to the competitive arena of college to college, it is darned close.

Those that aren’t in the know need to be aware that baseball recruiting is an expansion into the sales arena for both player and school. There is an entire stage of presentation for the player to ‘sell their talents’ and the internet has a number of platforms designed for just this cause. A player can list stats, pix, videos, testimonials and general information that can be previewed by a prospective college. On the college side, there is a competitive world that involves the best recruiters and reps that work year round to preview the best high school talent, get early sign-ups and increase their position in the college baseball recruiting ranking.
