Hello, I am a 14u high school player looking to play at a higher level. I was wondering whether a pocket radar would be a good gift for my birthday. I know its expensive, but right now, I have no clue how hard I throw or my exit velo. Is this something I should consider or is it not worth it?

Hey everyone, I’m a freshman in high school and my goal is to play Division 3 baseball in college, ideally at a really strong academic school. The biggest question I have is what are the average metrics (arm strength, exit velo, 60 time) of a middle infielder at the schools I list below?

Some of the types of schools I’m interested in are places like Cal tech, Amherst College, Johns Hopkins University, University of Chicago, Emory University, Washington University in St. Louis, nyu, and Tufts University. I know that these are all schools that are hard to get into, but I'd prioritize going to a prestigious college over playing baseball at a worse school. I really do love baseball though and want to continue playing.

I know it’s early, but I want to start doing the right things now instead of waiting until junior/senior year. For those of you who have gone through the process (or are currently playing D3), what should I be focusing on at this stage?

A few things I’m wondering about:

  • How important are travel teams vs. high school ball?
  • When should I start reaching out to coaches?
  • What kind of stats/metrics/skills do D3 coaches look for at top academic programs?
  • Any specific training or routines I should start now?

I’m willing to put in the work, just want to make sure I’m putting it in the right places.

Appreciate any advice!
