Class of 2010-11 College Commitments

Of the 33 players eligible on the Class of 2011 Gamers' rosters, 29 have received guaranteed roster spots and will make the transition to college baseball this Fall.  

Please note that a lot of baseball programs included un-recruited walk-ons on their list of college players.  We only include players wth guaranteed roster spots.

So, in our first 2 years with graduating players, we have placed 52 players into college baseball. That is over 80% placement for our 17u players. The 52 players are attending 22 different colleges in 10 different states across the country.

And, most of the players that did not go on to play college baseball are attending high-end academic schools, and pursuing academically challenging majors.

The Gamers' college process teaches players how to select colleges that are a good fit and then to "recruit themselves" into college baseball programs.  This takes motivation, direction and organization, and our players do a great job of it.

It is no secret that good grades and high test scores make a big difference in creating the opportunity to play college baseball. Over the past 2 years, our graduating players have had a average GPA of 3.4 and average ACT score of 26.
