Billy’s Answer

I didn't make it pro by a long shot, but did play DIII ball before tearing my rotator cuff. You might hear a lot of different opinions, but I would stress the pros of playing Junior College ball. You'll probably get to play both years in Juco, while if you go to a DI, DII or even DIII, chances are you won't even get a shot to really show what you can do on the field freshman year. All that depends on coaches, schools and playing ability, but I think it's better to be a big fish in a small pond for a while. At juco, you could start and if you do really well might create a bit of a buzz. Then, when you transfer as a junior, you'll probably get to start at the next college. All it takes is one really great year at a DI or DII or an insanely great year at a DIII school, and you'll draw some interest from scouts. But, most importantly, have fun while you're still playing baseball. Try not to think of it as a future job. It's really hard to make it pro, a lot of things have to align. Good luck!

s with any sport, making baseball your career choice is a huge decision as there are many inherent challenges involved. However if you are confident about your goal and are willing to do all that it takes to make it a profession, you might just be on the right track to realizing your dream.
Thank you comment icon Could you be a little more specific? Would you recommend a junior college or a 4 year? Gurpreet Lally, Admin

Santiago’s Answer

I recommend starting to play in the early ages. It's not easy to become a professional baseball player and you will have to put in a lot of work and make sacrifices. However, if baseball is your passion you will definitely enjoy the path. Like any sport, baseball requires a lot of discipline. I recommend listening to your coaches and being respectful to the game and others. Good luck!
