CBI Featured on KPB: The Growing Influence of the JUCO Pipeline

“Every level of college baseball is more competitive than ever. With the transfer portal booming and rosters full of older, experienced college returners, players looking for 4-year opportunities out of high school are feeling the squeeze in a big way. Junior college (“JUCO”) programs, long a hotbed for development, competition, and moving players to the next level, have become even more of a proving ground for players hoping to play at 4-year schools or beyond.

Just how impacted are college rosters? How is that affecting high school players looking for opportunities? To what extent are JUCO’s becoming a more common path to a 4-year roster? In this article, we teamed up with our friends at College Baseball Insights (“CBI”) to answer these questions and more. We add context and data to the trends that we see playing out in recruitment, and leave you with a plan for how to use roster research to find a program that aligns with your goals and can help you make it to the next level.”
