Frequently Asked Questions for Players

How do I know which camps to attend?

Focus on camps where you realistically fit the roster.

If you’re a 2.8 GPA student throwing 78 mph, target JUCO and NAIA programs – not D1 powerhouses.

Use our filters to find camps that match your:

  • Academic profile (GPA, test scores)
  • Athletic profile (position, velocity, exit velo)
  • Geographic preferences
  • Budget constraints

Be honest about your skill level. Coaches will respect you more for attending the right camps than wasting their time at camps where you don’t fit.

Most players should start attending prospect camps during their junior year (spring/summer).

Freshmen and sophomores should focus on:

  • Development camps to build skills
  • Local college camps to learn what college baseball looks like
  • Building relationships with programs (even if they can’t recruit you yet)

Juniors should attend:

  • 3-5 prospect camps at target schools
  • Showcase events (Perfect Game, PBR)

Seniors should only attend camps at schools actively recruiting them.

Many are!

Teams often just need another body to complete their tournament roster. They’re not looking to make money – they need a player.

Some teams may ask for a small fee ($50-100) to cover:

  • Team uniform rental
  • Tournament entry fees
  • Travel costs (gas, hotels)

But even when there’s a cost, it’s far cheaper than joining a full-time travel team that charges $2,000-$5,000 per season.

Pro tip: The more flexible you are (multiple positions, available on short notice), the more free opportunities you’ll find.

Yes! In fact, you should.

NCAA rules allow you to contact coaches at any time (though they may have restrictions on when they can respond).

Our coach contact database gives you verified email addresses and phone numbers for:

  • Head coaches
  • Recruiting coordinators
  • Assistant coaches

We recommend:

  1. Email coaches 2-4 weeks BEFORE attending their camps
  2. Include your grad year, position, stats, and highlight video link
  3. Express genuine interest in their program
  4. Ask if they’ll be evaluating your age group at the camp

Coaches are more likely to watch players who’ve made contact first.

That’s completely normal – and exactly why our database exists.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Search camps across ALL divisions – Don’t limit yourself yet
  2. Attend a mix of camps – D2, D3, JUCO, NAIA (avoid expensive D1 camps initially)
  3. Get honest feedback – Ask coaches at camps where they think you fit
  4. Compare rosters – Look up current rosters at programs you like (height, weight, stats)
  5. Be realistic about academics – Your GPA and test scores may narrow options

Remember: 85% of college baseball players are NOT at D1 programs.

There are amazing opportunities at D2, D3, JUCO, and NAIA schools – and our database helps you find them.

Camp costs vary widely:

  • D1 prospect camps: $300-$500+ (often just 1 day)
  • D2/D3 prospect camps: $200-$350
  • JUCO camps: $50-$150 (best value!)
  • NAIA camps: $100-$250
  • Development camps: $150-$300 (usually multi-day)

Our database shows pricing for every camp so you can budget accordingly.

Money-saving tip: JUCO camps offer the best value. They’re cheaper, you’ll get more attention, and JUCO is a proven pathway to D1/D2 programs later.

Prospect Camps:

  • Hosted by ONE college program
  • Coaches evaluate you for THEIR roster
  • Smaller setting (20-50 players)
  • More personal interaction with coaches
  • Best for: Players serious about that specific school

Showcase Camps:

  • Multiple college coaches attend
  • You’re being evaluated by 10-50+ schools at once
  • Larger setting (100-300 players)
  • Less personal interaction
  • Best for: Players who want exposure to many programs at once

Our database labels each camp type so you know what to expect.
