Well first off baseball is a lot different than all the other sports in college. Since you cant get drafted until after your second year of college or you have to sign right out of high school then most players go to juco schools and what not. Baseball scouts however will find you if you are good. You can go anywhere and if you have the talent they will find you.
MLB Draft depletes UNC roster
Before the dust had settled on North Carolina’s third straight run to the College World Series, several Tar Heel juniors were already entering into negotiations with MLB teams. The most biting of those contact signings came down the pipe in early August, as right fielder Tim Fedroff inked a deal with the Cleveland Indians, who drafted him in the seventh round of the MLB Draft. Fedroff was a key contributor to UNC’s postseason run, batting 12-for-22 in NCAA Tournament games.
That is an excert from North Carolinia Tarheels website. Thanks and i think this is the school you should choose. They are preseason #2 in nation.
A good place to go is florida they have a good team. They are usually high in the rankings and usually wins alot of games
The best way to get a scout to notice you is to find out where one lives (a scout) and make sure he is home and then stand out in his front yard in the middle of the night. I guarantee he will notice you
Here’s two to consider. Long Beach State College in California. A lot of the “Dirt Bags” have been drafted and signed the past few years. Another is the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Bob Bremley’s son (he’s the manager who took the AZ D’Backs to a World Series win) was drafted by the Cubs out of there.
I would suggest a winning team, so you can have fun winning, as well as get noticed late in the year. Like the guy said above me, UNC is good, but they might be too good and you won’t get much playing time. I suggest that you go to a big time schools that aren’t too well know for their baseball, maybe USC, Texas, or Oklahoma.

Cal. St. Fullerton and USC are great school to get noticed…
fullerton is easy to in to as far as academics if you dont have great grades…..
You don’t get to go to college if you refuse to use the “caps” button properly. College requires you write like an adult, not like an idiot. I’d work on that before you start worrying about baseball.
Well it depends there are good baseball schools all over the country. So it pretty much just depends on where you want to go to school. If you really want to know NCAA.com is a great place to start.
