## Resource

In this episode, we break down the latest D1 college baseball data on run scoring, ERA, and run prevention — and what it means for the recruiting process. We discuss why coaches are prioritizing athletes at every position, players who can not only hit but also defend at an elite level. We also cover what it really takes to pitch at the Division 1 level — because velocity and stuff alone won't cut it. College baseball coaches want pitchers who can field their position, hold runners, and compete. College baseball is getting more athletic across the board, and we're using the data to break down exactly what recruits and their families need to know to navigate the college baseball recruiting process.
