    Getting caught up in the mindset that you must go D1 is idiotic. If you are a top athlete with the skills, talent, and capabilities to play D1, you will be chosen to play. Even then though, a coach only plays 10 guys a game. If riding pine is your goal as a freshman then so be it. Opportunities to look for:Division 2 is a great way to work on your craft and grow as a player. Then you have the opportunity to go to a D1 after that first year.Division 3 doesn't p[provide athletic scholarships but you will be able to play with top talent.NAIA is the wild west. Scholarships to go around, great teams to play, and a whole but of hard work.JUCO is one of the best options because it enables you to grow as a man and play ball with little cost.Send us your highlight clips to get free exposure on our Instagram!For a custom highlight video, check out http://redwolfhighlights.com/Subscribe to Youtube for weekly episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChGmwTbCyws5JxhPHGCisKgFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebaseballplayground/
