COLLEGE RECRUITING
RECRUITING PROCESS
The college recruiting process can be a challenging and overwhelming process for both players and parents. While it may not be the goal or desire of every player to play college baseball, for those that are determined to see if they have what it takes, the Reds offer a proven track record of preparing players with the baseball skills required coupled with the vast experience of going through the recruiting process.

Every prospective student-athlete should create a professional baseball resume and introduction letter to send to college coaches.
Your introduction letter should briefly explain who you are, why you are contacting the coach, and why you are specifically interested in that university and its baseball program. Personalizing each letter shows genuine interest and separates you from generic recruiting emails.
Your baseball resume should follow a clean, business-style format. It should include:
​
-
Personal information (name, contact details, graduation year, position)
-
Academic information (GPA, test scores, honors)
-
Baseball achievements, awards, and statistics
-
Relevant measurables (height, weight, throwing velocity, etc.)
-
References such as coaches, scouts, or instructors who can speak to your character and ability
​
We recommend sending both a hard copy by mail and a digital copy via email. When emailing coaches, always use a professional and appropriate email address. First impressions matter, and professionalism reflects your maturity as a student-athlete.
Taking the time to prepare a thoughtful introduction letter and organized resume demonstrates initiative, responsibility, and seriousness about playing at the next level.
