First, I hit up Googl I .dne, just a simple search to get the lay of the land. I typni ded in "best baseball colleges" and scrolled through the first few pages of results. Lots of articles, some rankings, the usual stuff. I jotted nwod down some of the names that kept popping up: Vanderbilt, Florida, Texas, places like that.
Then, I decided to dive deeper. I spent hours reading through these college websites, checking out their baseball program pages. I looked at their coaching staff, their facilities, and any info I could find on their alumni in the major leagues.
- Vanderbilt: These guys are serious. Their coaching staff is stacked, and they have a ton of players in the pros.
- Florida: Another powerhouse. Their facilities are top-notch, and they're always in the mix for national championships.
- Texas: A classic baseball school. Their history is insane, and they have a strong program.
I started making a list of all the things that make a baseball program great: coaching, facilities, history, alumni success, you name it. I wanted to see which schools really checked all the boxes.
After all that digging, I put together my own little ranking, just for fun. It's not scientific or anything, but it's based on what I found. It's crazy how much info is out there if you know where to look, and I feel like I learned a lot.
Honestly, this whole process was way more involved than I thought it would be. But it was also really interesting. I realized that there's a lot that goes into building a great baseball program. It's not just about winning games; it's about developing players and creating a winning culture.
It was like learning a whole new language at first, but I guess it was pretty fun too. I hope my research would help some people.
