  • Is D1 Baseball Realistic Anymore?
    Apr 17 2025

    Looking for better guidance through the recruiting process?

    Here is how I can help: The Premier Athletes Recruiting Program: Work with Alex directly and have a better, more reliable path to play college baseball.

    With the transfer portal, NIL deals, and fifth-year seniors still on rosters, the college baseball landscape has changed—especially at the Division 1 level.

    In this episode, I dive into:
    ✅ Whether D1 baseball is still a real option for high school players
    ✅ How the recruiting process has shifted in today’s environment
    ✅ Why “hope” is not a strategy—and what to do instead
    ✅ How we’ve helped players (even fringe D2/D3 guys) land D1 offers in 2025

    It’s not impossible—but it is harder. Coaches are leaning on the portal more than ever, and without a plan, it’s easy to get lost in the noise.

    The good news? There are still D1 schools recruiting high school players right now. The ones getting those opportunities have a plan, know where they fit, and target the right schools.

    Are you chasing the logo—or finding the right fit?
    Let’s talk about what it really takes.

    Apr 3 2025

    Looking for better guidance through the recruiting process?

    Here is how I can help: The Premier Athletes Recruiting Program: Work with Alex directly and have a better, more reliable path to play college baseball.

    Wondering if your son has what it takes to play college baseball?

    In this episode, I break down the skill sets, athletic benchmarks, and intangibles that college coaches look for at every position and every level—D1, D2, and D3.

    We’ll cover:
    ✅ Velocity ranges for pitchers by level
    ✅ 60-yard dash times, pop times, and exit velo expectations
    ✅ What really matters beyond the numbers
    ✅ Position-by-position breakdown: pitchers, catchers, infielders, outfielders, and more

    If you've been asking, “How hard should I throw?” or “Is my 60 good enough?”—this episode is for you.

    Here’s the truth: it’s not just about metrics—it’s about mindset, athleticism, and coachability.

    Here is how I can help: The Premier Athletes Recruiting Program: Work with Alex directly and have a better, more reliable path to play college baseball.

    When it comes to college baseball recruiting, there’s one critical question every player (and parent) needs to ask:

    ✅ Why this question is the key to finding the right school
    ✅ The 5 types of college experiences & which one fits you best
    ✅ How to avoid common recruiting mistakes that lead to transfers
