    Looking for better guidance through the recruiting process?

    Here is how I can help: The Premier Athletes Recruiting Program: Work with Alex directly and have a better, more reliable path to play college baseball.

    The 2025 college baseball season is here, and D1Baseball.com just dropped their Preseason Top 25!

    In this episode, I break down the top teams in the country and what makes them stand out. From Power 4 programs like Texas, LSU, and Tennessee to rising mid-majors like Troy and UC Santa Barbara, these teams are set to make an impact this season.

    💡 Why This Matters for Recruits:

    • Power 4 programs are transfer-heavy, making it harder for high school players to land spots.
    • Mid-majors (D1), D2, D3, and JUCOs offer great opportunities and more roster openings.
    • Research is key—know which schools fit your skill level and recruitment timeline.
    • Facilities, coaching staff, and program success play a major role in player development.
    • Don't just chase big names—find the best fit for your future in college baseball.
