Commitment Corner: December Decisions
January 3, 2025
Follow: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram
December is typically a slower month for college commitments. Universities go on break and prospects are taking time with family, away from the game. With that said, there were a number of college commitments made during the month. We expect to see the recruiting trail heat back up as we get into February and March. College programs will be in full swing with opportunities to show off facilities, practices, and live game action. Players will be in the full swing of their prep for the spring season while showing off their gains from winter workouts at events like the Prep Baseball Preseason IDs and Preseason All-State.
Typically the senior class in NC will see somewhere between 400-450 college commitments. In the 2025 class, Prep Baseball has tracked 252 commitments within NC, up 20 from November. Still a ton of time as college programs will get another good luck at their needs and wants as their spring season workouts begin soon.

2024 Preseason All-State Continues to Draw Views Each Month
With the 2025 Preseason All-State events coming up soon, we can look back at the 2024 event to see what stories played well and how the presentation of the information can be tweaked. What we have seen in recent months is a spike in the number of views on player video from the 2024 event. College coaches are exploring and one of the top spots to check in on players, getting video and trusted information, is Prep Baseball.
These players attended a 2024 Preseason All-State event and have made their commitment.
