The # 900 doesn't nearly match the # of players and families he has positivley impacted over his career. For him it wasn't about the 900, from our day 1 it was clear that the focus was on that bigger # and that his players would pay that forward in their lives. Congrats @WaltWfu
BASEBALL PARENTS: ⚾️👇
According to NCAA estimates:
• 472,598 high school baseball players.
• Just 8.8% advance to NCAA baseball.
• Only 2.7% reach Division I.
Now consider this...
D1 programs operating under the new roster rules generally have 34 roster spots.
Those spots aren't just for incoming freshmen. They're shared with returning players, transfers, and other recruits.
Here's what I wish more parents understood...
Your son can be GOOD ENOUGH to play at a school and STILL never receive an offer.
Why?
Because recruiting isn't simply about talent.
It's about POSITIONAL NEEDS, ROSTER AVAILABILITY, PROJECTABILITY, ACADEMICS, FINANCES, and TIMING.
A coach knowing your son doesn't mean he's recruiting him.
And a coach not offering your son doesn't automatically mean he isn't good enough.
My advice?
Study rosters. Understand the numbers. Ask better questions. Find the right fit, and go where you're wanted ‼️
Don't put a ceiling on your kid's dreams, but don't ignore the realities of the process either.
The goal isn't just to get RECRUITED. It's to find somewhere your son can DEVELOP, COMPETE, and SUCCEED.
Knowledge is power. 🙌
