The 2025 college baseball season is here, and D1Baseball.com just dropped their Preseason Top 25!

In this episode, I break down the top teams in the country and what makes them stand out. From Power 4 programs like Texas, LSU, and Tennessee to rising mid-majors like Troy and UC Santa Barbara, these teams are set to make an impact this season.

💡 Why This Matters for Recruits:

• Power 4 programs are transfer-heavy, making it harder for high school players to land spots.
• Mid-majors (D1), D2, D3, and JUCOs offer great opportunities and more roster openings.
• Research is key—know which schools fit your skill level and recruitment timeline.
• Facilities, coaching staff, and program success play a major role in player development.
• Don't just chase big names—find the best fit for your future in college baseball.

I hope you're doing well and enjoying the Fall. As the next baseball year approaches, many of you are probably in the trenches of the recruiting process with your son. You might be wondering, "Should we aim for D1 only?" Well, I would suggest keeping all of your options open and try to avoid the "D1 or best mentality".  Myth 1: D2 and D3 Athletes Don't Go Pro Contrary to popular belief, MLB scouts don't solely hang around D1 campuses. A significant number of D2 and D3 players have not only been drafted but have also made it big in the pros. So yes, your son can dream big, even at a smaller school! Myth 2: D2 and D3 Teams Cannot Beat D1 Teams Think again! Every year, D2 and D3 teams stun D1 powerhouses. Talent exists at every level, and games are won on the field, not on paper. Myth 3: D1 Walk-ons are Better Than D2 and D3 Student-Athletes While D1 has the allure, it doesn't mean that a D1 walk-on is better than a starting player at a D2 or D3 school. Level doesn't define talent, and a walk-on spot at a D1 school may not offer the same opportunities as a starting position at a smaller program. Myth 4: The D2 and D3 Experience is Not Great Small class sizes, close-knit communities, and often more balanced life-school-sport commitments make for a compelling experience at D2 and D3 schools. Sometimes, smaller is better. Myth 5: D3 Schools Can't Give Aid $$$ Financial aid packages at D3 schools can be quite competitive. While they might not offer athletic scholarships, academic scholarships and grants can make a D3 education quite affordable. Here are a Few Points to Keep in Mind: Recruiting Starts Later: Typically, D2 and D3 schools begin their recruiting process a bit later than D1 schools. Smaller Budgets: D2 and D3 schools generally have smaller recruiting budgets, meaning they often focus on local talent. The recruiting game has room for everyone. Just remember, the goal is to find the best fit for your son, both academically and athletically. As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance.

If the world of college baseball recruiting feels like an overwhelming maze, you're not alone. From travel ball to showcases to school camps, there are countless avenues to consider and it's hard to know where to focus. But don't worry—our latest video dives deep into all these options to give you a clearer path forward.

🎯 Travel Ball
While summer travel ball offers great playing experience, its effectiveness for recruitment has dwindled. Unless you're part of a top-tier team, you might not get the exposure you're aiming for. As for fall travel ball, think twice. It's often not worth the investment given the limited college contact period.

🌟 Showcases
These can be goldmines for recruiting if you pick the right ones. Look for events where you know decision-making coaches will attend and where you'll do more than just a 'pro-style' evaluation. You want showcases that offer both skill assessments and actual games for a well-rounded evaluation.

🏫 School Camps
These are fantastic for deepening relationships with specific schools. However, be wary of generic email invites. Focus on camps that align with your academic and athletic targets. The ideal camp should be at least a day-long and offer both skill drills and gameplay.
