In this book, we try to answer the questions most parents seem to have regarding the college baseball recruiting process. Is there a "magic formula" in terms of what college recruiters want in a student-athlete? Maybe not a magic formula, but we offer the guidance and clues to keep you on the right path as you navigate this critical process. We tried to capture our experience and what we consider important points of the recruiting process. We have emphasized practical guidance to improve your chance of playing baseball in college and receiving appropriate financial support.

This guide helps prospective student athletes and parents understand how recruiting works, differences and availability of academic vs. athletic financial aid and how to maximize exposure when trying to secure a slotted position in a college-level athletic program. We take the mystery out of NCAA and NAIA recruiting guidelines to help you see how college coaches and prospects communicate, what to expect in the process and ultimately how offers can result. As the number of college choices can be overwhelming, we give you the data to help you qualify and shortlist the right schools to make your search more manageable. Among the many data points contained in the full profiles of each participating NCAA and NAIA College and University, are data available detailing admission figures, tuition amounts students receiving aid are really paying and what actual ACT and SAT test score ranges are students needing to get into these schools. This is your one reference guide for those seeking a cross country scholarship.
