Getting Into a Baseball School

I'm already seeing all kinds of questions come my way about getting into a baseball school.  High school teams are already practicing and getting ready for their games so the seniors are planning what they need to do to play at the next level.

The biggest question I get is about getting on community college teams.  "How hard is it getting into a community college baseball school?"  Here is what I tell most players.

Many community college teams only have a few scholarship players. This means a lot of players walk on.  What some players do is contact the coach well before the senior season is over and tells him they want to play for him. If you played decent at the high school level then you definitely have a chance at making the team.

Contact the coach and let him know what your intentions are. Send him your stats and highlights if you have them. Visit him in person with your father or guardian to show him your commitment.  The coach should be able to guide you to take the right steps.

In the meantime, practice as often as you can and improve your skills, strength and endurance.  If you are already at the baseball school and it's before the season then work harder than anyone else at the tryout.  Always hustle, listen to the coaches and ask for extra work.
