Best juco baseball programs

Are you trying to find a top program for your son, or asking what it's like to play at a top program? How far away are you willing to send your son? All were surprised how many talented kids were not able to earn playing time. It's extremely competitive at the top, and very view barriers to entry.

We are in CA and see many high level jucos play. Based on what you say, if your son came to our local juco, which is one of the best, he would most likely be reshirted so he could have a year to get stronger and the coaches could help him really learn how to pitch. He'd have to work really hard, but there would certainly be a lot of opportunity. He has found 1 top program but right now there is nothing to compare it to so I am interested in what other schools are out there that have a good history of developing and moving players on to good baseball programs.

I am also interested in finding out what it is like playing at some of these other top programs. I just spoke with a friend HS pitching coach who said the biggest problem is that NJCAA schools have very few rules so some of these programs overwork kids early on, have crappy strength programs, and do not have knowledgeable pitching staff. I am just trying to my best to help my son walk into a program with some idea of what to expect.

You'll have to do a little more digging to figure out if they are developing those guys or just recruiting studs. I think the best way to figure that out is an overnight visit, and talking to current or former players. Your son is in a great position to check some schools out during the fall semester. Many JuCo guys aren't figuring that out until the spring. All member accounts are the same here as they were at ThisBoardRocks. Schools Details: The N.
