    DETERMINING POTENTIAL SCHOOLS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The most important component in this process is determining the schools that match your
    qualifications. Assessing the current team roster is one of the best ways to do this.
    There are over 1,650 college baseball programs in the U.S. with over 52,000 college baseball
    players. College Baseball is categorized as an equivalency sport by the NCAA and NAIA which
    means scholarships can be divided up and given to multiple players. Except in rare instances,
    baseball scholarships are not full-ride scholarships, but instead are divided up as partial
    scholarships. Each division level is different in the number of scholarships they can offer and
    how they divide them.
    In 2016-2017, there were approximately 490,000 high school baseball players in the U.S. There
    were approximately 52,000 college baseball players which means that about 9% of High School
    players went on to compete at the college level. Less than 2% play at the Division 1 level!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NCAA Division I
    <\/strong>There are 298 NCAA DI baseball programs in the U.S. with each team allowed to offer a
    maximum of 11.7 scholarships per team. 27 players on a DI roster must receive at least 25% of a
    full scholarship. D1 roster size is limited to 35 meaning eight players can be true walk-on
    players.
    Please note: Verbal offers are non-binding and can be rescinded at any time by the school.
    Schools are not bound to honor the scholarship until the player signs his National Letter of Intent
    (NLI) on or after the pre-determined signing day for his high school class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NCAA Division II
    <\/strong>There are 238 NCAA DII baseball programs in the U.S. with each team having a maximum of 9
    scholarships per team. Many of the athletes who play DII baseball are good enough to make a
    team at the DI level but choose DII because they can get more playing time. There are no roster
    limits for DII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NCAA Division III
    <\/strong>There are 365 NCAA DIII programs across the U.S. There are more opportunities to play college
    baseball at the DIII level than any other level of four-year schools. DIII programs are not able to
    offer athletic scholarships but are able to put together financial aid packages that rival the partial
    athletic scholarships at other levels. There are no roster limits for DIII<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NAIA<\/strong>
    There are 205 NAIA baseball programs in the U.S. with each program being allowed to offer up
    to 12 scholarships per team. There are more scholarships available per team at this division level
    than any other college division. Generally, scholarships are divided up between multiple players.
    There are no roster limits for NAIA schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Are you Qualified?
    <\/strong>Assessing the roster of schools in which you have an interest will give you a very good idea as to
    your skill level being a fit with that school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
