I wanted to share some important updates about D1 baseball scholarships and rosters that will impact high school athletes aiming for college baseball.
Two major changes are on the horizon:
1. Full scholarships will increase to 34 players (up from 11.7).
2. Rosters will be cut from 40 to 34 players.
These changes are likely to start in the fall of 2025. Here’s a quick overview:
Scholarship Increases:
For years, D1 baseball programs could split 11.7 scholarships among 32 out of 40 players, with the remaining 8 players not receiving athletic scholarships. Now, with the NCAA settling a lawsu...

How many players will teams be able to carry? Can a player be on the team just not on the roster?
Great question. Right now it’s 34 man roster but yet to be determined if redshirts will be allowed meaning they are on the team but not active.
I don't get the argument that it will be costing schools that much more money. If you have 34 scholarships, just admit 34 more students into gen pop than you normally would. Makes sense, right?
I wish it was that easy! Maybe it needs to be for these schools.
Don’t they have to add 1 for 1 with female athletes for title 9
@@charlesparrish2126everyone got a bump
Most programs won’t be able to afford it
Bingo
How many catchers do you think a school will carry with the roster reduction?
3
Do you think this will trickle down to d2, d3, naia?
Players will move down but not a lot of money will.
So just to clarify, D1 baseball went from an equivalency sport to a head-count sport?
Correct.
How long should a highlight video be? I’m not sure how to send a long video without compressing it, or using maildrop. Thanks for the help!
2-3 minutes. We help create video in our recruiting program.
What's your email brother ? Want to invite you to an exclusive group for baseball parents
Happy to help alex@howtoberecruited.com
Maine’s Falmouth team - great team, on your list but didn’t read it out loud. Sent multiple players to D1 schools in recent years with great underclassmen coming up.
Do Milwaukee Panthers (MKE)🐈⬛
In year's past, I might have agreed with this. But now with the transfer portal, schools at all levels are spending their summers trying to recruit guys out of the transfer portal and then turning their focus to the high school kids in the Fall. Kids now would actually be better off playing in some type of "free" baseball league like American Legion or Babe Ruth in the Summer and saving their money to play travel baseball in the Fall. I can say from my experience that Fall Travel baseball in 2023 and 2024 has been / will be 100% worth it.
Appreciate your perspective but the problem remains the same which is you only have a few weeks to get in front of coaches and even then you are just hoping someone sees you (bad strategy). You can’t predict who will be there. Certain camps and showcases are not good but if the school are in need of your position and the right coaches are at the showcases it’s way better getting exposure that way than maybe being seen at a tournament by some school you don’t know about.
@@RecruitingwithAlex Everything you mentioned could be the case in either the Summer or Fall. With everything else being equal, college coaches are going to be more focused on high school players in the Fall than the Summer. I know this beyond a shadow of a doubt. College coaches spent a lot of their resources this summer recruiting transfer portal players out of collegiate summer leagues. I witnessed this first hand.
@@ValleyBaseballScout Yeah exactly, summer and fall travel ball are overrated for that reason because again for a player you are just winging it you have no idea who is out there if anyone. I talk to coaches every week that can't be everywhere and see everyone that is why camps and showcases are important. To many players and parents are spending thousands and thousands of dollars just hoping to be seen when no one shows up. There is a better way to go about it than some travel team or summer team.
That definitely makes a lot of sense. I have found that most of these camps at colleges are just clinics, they list them as “prospect camps” but they are really only clinic type things. Do you have a video on how to find good quality showcases at colleges or third party ones? Thank you!
Do Jacksonville University - JU🐬
3rd party showcase is a scam.
Some of them are pretty bad. There are a few out there that are pretty good just have to know what to look for.
Outstanding content. Super helpful!
The content of your video is absolutely on point. It was extremely helpful for me to guide my son. As a symbol of my appreciation I’m going to give you a few communication tips to improve your channel: - Add a digital chart to reinforce key points - Drop that particular music…the piano was really distracting. - Speed up your intro, don’t need to credentialize as much. You are instantly credible.
Did you work with Joey Oakie?
I had a 30 point game this year in my 8th grade season but i play for a school with less than 100 students will they actually want to talk to me
Do any of these restrictions apply to D3?
I think they don’t apply to D3, Juco, or NAIA. Not sure for sure though. There is good info on the ncsa website for more.
No, not to D3
Great stuff as always
Great stuff anyone do such detailed videos for NCAA basketball recruiting?
Can you make a video regarding ncaa changing the scholarships allowed per roster from 11.7 to 34!
I’ll have a video out about the new changes very soon.
Blue valley west for 6a Kansas
What school year will this begin?
Fall of 2025
Thanks- Any changes in XC or track?
Hey Alex im going to my second year in high school and I wanted to know how I can get my velo up without just blowing my arm out I dont want to be reckless
3rd party showcase is a scam. Our invite from a college coach to attend a showcase came from the showcase and not the coach. Your reply gets forwarded to the coach and likely goes to his spam.
Some are bad out there for sure but there are also a few that are good
Relevant advice
It would help in dogenall but it won’t bc there is more then one person
This didn't 4x my reaction time...Tried in multiple sports.
i wouldn't say that . well, I tried it 3 years ago. i was just casually playing my game . it was valorant actually. i was too focused and i could literally feel each framer changing , my crosshair changing everything . even i was too shocked. and also i have never been able to match that focus level, not even close. i have adhd too. maybe it was just adhd hyperfocus. someone who has adhd, can be too focused on something sometimes. it's subconscious tho.
@@AkaRshit466 I think this helps if you easily lose focus, but I can't say it 4x my 200 ms reation time. Sounds like you were experiencing flow state. This trick will not get you into flow state
@@iShrix yeah! , i agree on that. but it does improve reaction time. not much but you'll definitely see a difference. and for flow state, meditation . i think meditation does help for it.
High school kids don't have a chance to compete against a 230pound 6.4 college players it's over for 180 pound 5.9 High School players
Look at D2, D3, and JUCO
When you mentioned sending colleges your highlights, are you referring to a recruiting video and/or in game clips?
Yes, your skills/game video.
What’s your opinion of I95 Showcases? Is it worth it?
For D3 and D2 schools is can be good
Is that tuition cost for 1 yr vs. 4 yrs outta state within state please explain
Per year
Travel ball should be banned under the age of 13.
Hard to argue that.
Corona
Good pick
I am going to one of the schoola😂
Great!
You mentioned a few times to email coaches prior to going to camps and after as a follow up. What are your thoughts on twitter. Would that work as well or do you suggest email as a better form of communication. Thanks and love the content.
Yes, that works on Twitter or Instagram.
Hey just wondering how do I found out how college coaches are at camps or showcases
How do you find out if they need someone in my position ?
Do you help with college recruiting ? Or just give tips on what to do
I help
I seen the link after I commented. I emailed you about setting up a call.
I’m 5’11. 181 About to be a jr in high school. Went to show case and ran a 6.51 Hit 94 off tee and threw 90 from the outfield. What metrics do I need to improve to play D1 baseball?
Young pitchers need to learn location and speed make much more difference than curves and sliders.
Love the globe. Classic. Why the clouds in background never move? I have no idea.
How do you evaluate a raw kid who with all skill levels the that needs to be developed coach 6.4 220 lefty
Hey Coach, I had gotten injured twice, torn labrum in both shoulders. My injuries were timed terribly, the first one happened senior year, and the second one 4 games into my freshman year at a D2.(New Mexico highlands) I originally signed to a juco right after highschool but felt as I came in injured I was put on the back burner, transferred out. I felt, as a freshmen I could have held my own. (My coach didn’t get his contract re-newed at the 4 year) I took a year off and now I’m going into my r-soph year at a juco… last chance really, if I sign any level lower than d1, I do know my clock stops at a d2 and lower with me taking the year off. I’m undersized 5’9 165 (OF) Not a blow away guy but I always played (not 5 o’clock) Injury took me away from being exposed, I have one year left at this juco… any tips on how to maximize exposure through this final year of putting myself out there?
20 year old sophomore
Thanks for the information
Great content coach, what you are teaching is invaluable. My son is just starting this process. It's totally different than when I was recruited. Thanks for everything that you do.
I have a question, my daughter is eligible for tuition remission based on her mother’s faculty employment at a D1 school. It seems irrelevant to send our daughter to another school for a partial scholarship when she can have all cost covered. Would that be mentioned to the head coach during recruitment. That all she is looking for is a roster spot no need for scholarship money? Does that make my daughter an interesting option for the coach
Yes, it’s worth mentioning because it’s no cost to the program and that matters
@@RecruitingwithAlex Thank you, for the feedback I really appreciate it. Would it be something that you would throw in the subject line of an email? If so how would you title it? Or call the coach directly during contact period?
What does freshman retention mean?
Percentage of freshman that say after 1st year.
No mention of BLUE & GRAY Shirt scholarships!
This is for baseball
