College baseball recruiting resources
Practical guides for baseball players and their families on how college recruiting actually works — the sequence, the outreach, the materials coaches ask for, and the decisions that come up along the way. Everything here is free to read, with nothing to sign up for and no email required.
How to use these guides
Recruiting is less complicated than it looks, but it is spread over four years, which is what makes families feel behind. Start with the timeline guide so you know where you are in the process, then move to the guide for whatever you are stuck on right now.
For many families, recruiting is easier to manage when the player and parent divide the work. A useful way to divide the work is for the player to take ownership of outreach and film while a parent helps with calendars, academics, logistics and financial conversations — adjust it to whatever fits your family.
These guides cover the recruiting process itself. To see the tools Earn4 gives families to organize that process, explore the product.
