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.

I wanted to share some crucial news about the changes in the NCAA Division I college baseball recruiting rules.

These new rules will significantly impact the recruiting process for high school underclassmen.

I encourage you to check out my latest YouTube video or podcast episode for a more in-depth look at these rule changes and their impact on the recruiting landscape.

You'll find expert insights, analysis, and advice to help you navigate the new rules.

In a nutshell, the changes will prevent communication between college coaches and high school underclassmen, including scholarship or roster offers, until August 1st going into their junior year. So the summer after their sophomore year. 

This shift in the recruiting timeline is intended to give student-athletes and their families more time to research, make informed decisions, and focus on skill development.

Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance. I'm here to support you and your son through the recruiting process.

As a former college baseball coach and recruiter, I have seen many talented players get overlooked in the recruiting process because of common mistakes.

But don't worry; I'm here to help!

Here are the top five mistakes to avoid in the recruiting process.

1. Sitting back & hoping to be found (not having a plan) - Don't wait for coaches to find you. Take control of your recruiting process by recruiting coaches and having a plan. 
2. Starting too late - Don't wait to start the recruiting process. College coaches start recruiting early (as early as freshman year in some cases), so make sure you're on their radar.
3. Depending on your travel team - While there are some good travel teams out there. They are becoming fewer and fewer, unfortunately. Going to a random tournament hoping to be seen when there aren't many college scouts (or any) doesn't work well.
4. Targeting the wrong schools - Make sure you target schools that are a good fit for you academically, athletically, and geographically. Don't waste your time on schools that aren't a good match.
5. Getting a "no" from a school and quitting - Don't give up if a school says no. Keep working hard and connecting with coaches. You never know when another opportunity might arise.

Avoiding these five common mistakes can help you stand out in the recruiting process and increase your chances of playing college baseball.

I hope you enjoy today's episode.

My guest today is Walter Beede, a very interesting guy, with a baseball career that spans over 40 years, as a player, a coach and a father.  He attended Fitchburg high school in Massachusetts, where he was All-New England 1st Team as a high school player. He received a scholarship from Arizona State University and was selected by the Chicago Cubs as a 13th round draft pick in 1981.

His coaching background is lengthy and extensive. He has been a head coach at the high school, national travel and NCAA-College baseball levels. He has also worked as a task force member for the prestigious Team USA program in Cary, NC. 

As the father of two sons that played baseball and competed at the college level, Walter has been through the recruiting process plenty. One of his son’s, Tyler played for the National Champion Vanderbilt Commodores and is currently with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

All told, Walter has over two decades of experience as a mentor to other young men, as a coach, a father, and a player himself.  He brings an extremely diversified background for parents and student athletes who are seeking advice and want to play beyond the high school level.  Through his Twitter feed Masters of Baseball, and his two recently published books, The Process and Fun over Fear, he serves as an invaluable resource for all.

On this week's show, with guest Daylon Monette, we will discuss the importance of camps, leagues, and tournaments outside of high school sports as the new avenue of recruiting. We will also be discussing the decline of multi-sport athletes and what it takes in this day and age to be seen and recruited.
