Creating a baseball recruiting profile is a good idea. Why? Because college baseball is extremely competitive. That's what so great about the recruiting process, in a way. Getting recruited for spots on college baseball teams is an immensely competitive process in and of itself. Think of it as a precursor to the sort of competition you'll experience on a college team.

Maybe you're wondering, "What makes it so competitive?" First of all, there's a scholarship issue. NCAA DI baseball teams are allowed 11.7 athletic scholarships for each men's team. And in NCAA Division II, it's even worse: only 9 scholarships for men. NAIA teams are slightly more generous, with the ability to give out a maximum of 12 baseball scholarships.

Fortunately for you, these scholarships can be divvied up in many ways, so that many players receive partial baseball scholarships. Still, in such a competitive process, you will probably want an advantage. But how to get one?
