I Was a Lost High School Baseball Player. Now I'm Building the Tool I Wish I Had.

By junior year, I'd sent emails to dozens of different college coaches. Most never responded. The ones who did told me I wasn't a fit. Whether I wasn't smart enough, they didn't need my position, or I was just straight up not good enough.

It got to the point where I had no idea where I belonged. I was spending countless hours trying to find schools I could play at. Then more hours reaching out to get noticed. By the time I got real help from great coaches, I was already burnt out. I was second-guessing where I could play.

Looking back, the problem was that I started from a bad baseline. I had an idea of where I thought I could play college baseball, but it was way off. I have seen this problem in so many of my friends, teammates, and other athletes online. We spend so much time building a list of schools to reach out to. We do it without even knowing if they are realistically a fit. The list comes from feel, and from our idea of seeing ourselves play there.

The 90% nobody talks about

I spoke with my old high school coach. He has sent over 300 players to play college baseball. He has numerous draft picks to his name. One thing he said in our conversation really stuck out to me:

"If a kid's awesome, he already knows he's going big time because the big-time schools have already reached out to him. Let's say that's 10% of the kids. The other 90% who want to play in college have no idea."

I thought I was alone in not reaching out to the right schools. Turns out I was in the majority.

Why I built BaseballPath

This is why I built BaseballPath. There's an entire industry built on keeping you uncommitted. Every month you're still 'exploring options' is another month of subscription fees. Another showcase ticket sold. Another reason to keep telling you that your dream school is realistic. I fell into that trap. I'm here to help others avoid it.

How it works

BaseballPath is an honest report for high school baseball players. First you enter some basic showcase-type metrics. Things like your exit velocity, 60 time, or fastball velo. It depends on your position. Then you enter your academics. This is a really important step. Most athletes don't think about it at the start of their search. Last, we take in some preferences. Do you care more about baseball or academics? What part of the country do you want to go to school in?

We built BaseballPath on real college recruiting data. It reads your answers and gives you up to 75 schools that would be a great fit for you. You get them on three lists: balanced, academic-first, and baseball-first. For each school, we look at baseball strength and academic prowess. We also look at roster availability. That way you don't reach out to schools that don't need you.

Not a typical recruiting service

We are not a typical recruiting service. We just take in your metrics and give you a data-backed list of schools to contact. Our goal is to put you in the right direction, not do all the work for you. In most cases, college coaches don't bother opening emails from recruiters and agencies. A targeted email from a player who actually fits stands out. And you will be ahead of 90% of the pack. We give you an honest snapshot of where you stand. Then you can reach out with confidence.

Try it for yourself

This has been in the works for over a year. Now it's time for the public to benefit. The BaseballPath package is called Reach Out. It is a one-time $499. No subscriptions. No reason for me to keep you uncommitted. Maybe you are just starting your recruiting process. Maybe you have been stuck for a while. Either way, try out BaseballPath today to see what schools you should be reaching out to next.
