What do you guys in Conn. think about the baseball program at Wesleyan?
I know it's a D-III. Does the program have a chance at recognition? Do the players have a chance of being "seen"?

Thanks

Fine program and fine young coach great academic school

If a player is a "player" he will be seen no matter what college he plays at.

TR is correct. It is a top college,a degree from Wesleyan is a ticket to a great future. They play good baseball, always competitive in the NESCAC. Beautiful campus, take a ride and check it out.

Great school, strong program. When your rivals are Amherst and Williams, it says something about the quality of academics and athletics.

The NESCAC is a very good Div. III baseball league. Trinity made the Div. III World Series last year. Trinity and Tufts have had players drafted in the last few years, so yes, you can most definitely get seen at one of these schools. Williams and Wesleyan had 2 players in the NECBL last summer. Tufts and Trinity had one each, as well.

the level of play at the top of the NESCAC is similar to the level of play at the low major Div. I level. There isn't as much depth, but the top pitchers and position players at these schools could easily contribute at most Ivy, Patriot, and other Northeast Div. I leagues.

my son had a great deal of contact with the Coach and he is just a super guy. Everything about the school impressed us as first rate.

Hey batter:
Has your son deceided to go to Wesleyan?

451- he gave Wesleyan a real hard look. He decided though on Pomona College (Pomona-Pitzer baseball)

Hey Batter:

Great choice..great school..good luck

451- thanks so much for the good wishes and the best to you......

HEYBATTER

I am sure Coach would have liked to see your son in a Wesleyan Uniform

TRhit

I see they'll (the schools) be playing each other next week.

TR- thanks for the compliment to my son and allow me to return one to you.

In trying to best "advise" my son, I took alot of information from your posts and others and from this site in general to have him focus on the best "fit" for him. He was blessed to have several options that looked to be good "fits" and took great care to think everything through as best he could and I am extremely proud of the fashion in which he reached his decision. I'm also very grateful to have had the resources of this site and the good advice of many, such as yourself, that I used in helping him along.

It was also interesting that his final list of schools bore NO resemblance to the list he first started at the end of his freshman year.

And 451, I think Wesleyan plays at Pomona-Pitzer on March 9. Go Sagehens
(now that I'm a full on Pomona fanatic if you'd like any info on that school/program, I could go on forever
