Quick baseball recruiting question | General | TopVelocity Baseball Forum

Yes, velocity is always the deciding factor when it comes to playing at the next level. Like McHugh said, if you continue to work at the program you’re gonna be fine. Another point which McHugh pointed out is that pick a school where they will accept you obviously, and pick a school where all your dream job opportunities are. Don’t limit yourself to just becoming a professional baseball player. I mean how many players do actually become professional? It’s good to have a confident mentality knowing that you will make it, but facts are facts, not many players do actually play in the MLB. So look for colleges that provide the education, like you want to be a sports scientist or physiotherapist or doctor or whatever you want to be in the future, if the college doesn’t have the courses for that, then you might as well choose another one with these courses. So don’t always try to pick the top of the ladder college unless they provide you with the courses and facilities you need. Sometimes these schools are conventional wisdom, or they make you train everyday or something like that. So watch out for these kinds of things.
