how to get recruited by colleges for baseball?

Let colleges know you're interested in playing for them.  If you're not batting .600 with 17 HR and 57 RBI in 20 games, scouts may or may not make it out to your games.  The suggestion of sending schools tapes of your play is excellent.  Also, you can apply to the schools that you would like to go to after checking up on whether they're looking for someone with your baseball talents as well.\n\nIf you're a pitcher who can throw gas, you'll get attention.  If you can bat as I mentioned above, you will, too.  Also, if you're a good catcher with a decent bat, that's the fastest way up the food chain.\n\nIf you're looking to play ball as a way of getting through college, remember that most teams don't hand out many full baseball scholarships.  Last I checked, a team had 11.7 scholarships in D-I, so most of their players get half or quarter rides.\n\nGood luck with your play.  And if a pro scout takes interest in you, take interest in him.  You can go to college anytime... :)

Hey Malu,\nContact the coaches at the schools you are interested in going to and someone there will tell you what you need to do. Usually they want a highlights tape and one game tape. If they are impressed with what they see they will send a scout out to you or you will be asked to try out at the school. If that doesn't work out you can always try to walk on... this means you try out for the team and if you make it you won't be on scholarship your first year but possibly starting your sophomore year.

Yes you can, but keep all choices open including JC, a lot of players will go to JC first and then hook up with a major U after the sophomore year then they can get a 1/4 or 1/2 scholarship like the previous answerer stated there are very few full rides in D1.JC's in Florida, Texas, and California usually have some of the best baseball programs. D2 also has some great programs.

Go to your local bookstore and find a book on baseball training. Most websites charge for that info.

The best non-college option would be to work your way up through Canadian or US junior hockey.  From there you could be recruited by a semi-pro team.\n\nI suspect NHL tryouts are by invitation only.

easy,\nPice a few (1 or 2) players you like.  Maybe they are from your home town.  played at your college, friends know them.\nthen follow their team.

You need to go to the different team websites and fill questionaries and/or get the coaches email.. one email with your times, academic scores and why you want to go to the school should be enough

Scouts come and watch games and stuff. If you're talented they'll offer a scholarship. When you get to highschool try out for the team all years and such. That's really the only way.

If your son is a fourth year senior in college and did not get drafted, the odds are that he will never play professional baseball, and the odds of making the big leagues are nearly zero.  But it can happen.\n\nDo not bother contacting an agent.  Have your son contact independent league teams directly and discuss his accomplishments.  Do not do this for him as clubs are looking for players with drive, and nothing will make the door close quicker than his father calling for him.  If your son can impress the appropriate people, he may get a tryout.  After that, it is all about the talent he has.\n\nIf your son truly wants this, he needs to get aggresive.  Each major league team has drafted 50 players this week and those players will be their focus.  Your son must do something to stand out.

No, you don't automatically get in, but they should give you an idea when recruiting about whether you are a shoe-in to get into the school, or whether there are some other things you need to work on like grades or test scores to ensure you get into the school.  And be careful about being recruited right now, its not legal.  If you want to play in the NCAA, you need to read up on the rules and regulations for recruiting so you don't accidentally break any rules and ruin your eligibility.

Try to contact the coach of the team. To play, you'll need a nice, expensive set of golf clubs, proper clothing and the know-how of how to play golf. If you aren't perfect to play at college level yet, there are online golf tutorials or you can hire a trainer to help you. Good luck and get a hole in one!!!

Do you or your coach know anyone in pro ball? If you do, a referral from a current player is the fastest and easiest way to get a tryout. It's very difficult to make a team just through a tryout and very difficult to get a tryout.\nYou can try looking here:\nhttp://www.baseball-links.com/links/Scouting-Recruiting-Tryouts/

It's too late to sign up for basketball, and baseball hasn't started yet. To sign up for any Yahoo fantasy sport, make sure you have a Yahoo ID and go to fantasysports.yahoo.com. Every sport has its rules. All of them are free, but they have add-ons (like live stats and extended player rankings) that you can buy if you want.\n\nAnyway, you get in a league with other fantasy managers. Everybody drafts a group of real players, and the stats those players pick up during the year are added to your fantasy team's stats. You can trade players with other fantasy managers if you are weak in one area. Good luck!

I'm a Royals fan and I'll admit that it isn't a long stay in the minors before being called up to the majors in the Royals organization.  \n\nThe road to the majors starts with the draft or getting an invite to the club's spring traning tryouts.  If they sign you, you will be designated for assignment.  This means that they will place you on one of the teams in their organization, ranging from the parent club (MLB) down to low level affiliates such as Class A, Short-Season, or Rookie League.  If you are not signed, you could take an alternate route and play in the independent minor leagues and hope to get noticed.  But basically put, they scout/sign you then you work your way up the system.
