Start by creating a professional highlight video with tracking circles to identify yourself in game footage. Around 450 schools compete at the D3 level, so research the D3 Baseball programs that match your academic and athletic profile. Email coaches directly with your video link, athletic resume, and academic information. Attend showcases and camps where D3 coaches evaluate prospects.

For D3 Baseball, the recruiting timeline depends on the specific rules. D3 has no restrictions on when coaches can contact you. Start building your highlight video as early as possible.

Your D3 Baseball highlight video should be 3-5 minutes long and include competitive game footage that demonstrates the skills coaches at this level evaluate. Use tracking circles to make yourself identifiable on every play. D3 coaches focus on technique, IQ, and academic fit.
