One thing that stands out at the D-1 level is how many Colorado players are being recruited by West Coast and Southern region schools. That is a good sign that Colorado players are starting to be recognized by states that have been considered warmer weather regions who traditionally produce top-end high school talent. In other words Colorado is now being looked at as a place to considered for top-end baseball players.

At the Division 2 level, the RMAC Conference dominates current commitments with 10 of the 11 current D-2 commits.

Of the 48 players committed, 11 are going somewhere in their home state while 35 are traveling beyond their borders. All current Junior College commits are leaving the state.

Tomorrow we will post a story of where Colorado players have been recruited we have on record since our launch in 2014.
