Book Description
Competition for scholarship money in college baseball is fierce, and rosters spots are not easy to come by at any level. How do you increase your chances of both? Get seen by the right people at the right time who also have needs that match your skill set. This book will explain the process and open your eyes to the steps of selling yourself to a college baseball program that is also the best fit socially and academically. We roll the whole equation out into an easy to understand format: NCAA rules of eligibility, talking to coaches, choosing schools, evaluating programs, choosing exposure opportunities like showcase and summer camps and more (see chapter outline). We explain the pro's and con's of your options and think you will be able to answer the most difficult question on your own after you have read the book. Where is the best place(s) for me to apply and play college ball?

This book is great! I gave it to my cousin who's on the high school baseball team, and he loved it. I would definitely recommend this book.
Excellent resource and "must have" for any student athlete. October 3, 1999
This book compiles information from a wide variety of resources - including excellent experts in the field - and presents it all in one place in an easy to follow, common-sense approach. Key principles for all aspects of life are discussed - financial, emotional, educational, not just how to throw a better curve. For any student athlete, male or female, in any sport, this author provides insights and keys to laying a foundation in school which will be of great benefit no matter what career path is eventually taken. This is an excellent guide which should be available in every school in the nation for every student. I wish this book had been available when I was in high school.
A must read for parents of high school athletes September 21, 1999
Ray Lauenstein has put together the first comprehensive guide for high school athletes bound for college. Trying to get into the right college is a difficult process, but for the student-athlete there are additional challenges, and Mr. Lauenstein provides an excellent roadmap to navigate the process. If your goal, or your child's goal, is to play sports at the college level, this book is a must read.
Mandatory reading for every student athlete. September 8, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Baseball, playing outside the lines" is the book every parent needs, to guide their student athlete through the maze of college recruiters. The author has been there, done that, and is able to focus on what is really important, "an education should be the primary focus". This book should be mandatory reading for every student who aspires to playing baseball, or for that matter any sport at the college level.
