The pace of college commitments for prospects in the Class of 2024 has picked up in recent weeks. Since the start of the new year, 20 high school seniors have firmed up plans to play at the next level.
We now have a total of 348 New England prospects in the Class of 2024 planning to play college baseball. Using last year’s 527 commitments for players in the Class of 2023 as an example, it seems likely that we will see around 175 more prospects commit to college baseball programs over the next six months.
Whether it’s through prep/high school or the travel ranks, New Englanders are routinely bound for some of the nation’s top college baseball programs. Many stay within the region, but the point remains: The college baseball ranks – across all three divisions – are chock-full of local players.
To get insight into what’s coming, we have a running database of all college-bound players from New England. Players, parents and coaches are welcome to submit updates. If doing so, please send all additions to dguttenplan@baseballjournal.com and include the following: name, hometown, position, college, high school, class year, and club team.
