Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a go-to, one-stop website where you could research colleges all over the country and find the right academic and baseball fit for your young athlete?
College Baseball Insights offers exactly that, providing a timely visual solution that consolidates all of the frequently asked questions for every college in the nation into one website.
“Our solution reduces a family’s research effort by 25 percent,” says College Baseball Insights founder Art Crichlow. “We’ve simplified the online college baseball research process by consolidating information on more than 1,700 college baseball programs.”
Crichlow’s impetus to find a way for parents to lighten the load of the college research process came through personal experience. “I found researching college baseball programs during my son’s high school years to be overwhelming and time consuming,” he said. “An athlete’s junior year can be stressful for a multitude of reasons; standard course work, prepping for college entrance exams and playing baseball. Then add to that, college visitations.”
Once his son was off to college, Crichlow had time to looking deeply into finding better ways to clear up the fog of the college research process. “I started researching the college baseball recruiting process and, specifically, how to help other families through what can be an intimidating process.”
This four-year adventure for Crichlow under his company College Baseball Insights has led him to a rewarding experience in quickly bringing into focus for parents what can otherwise be a painstaking process.
“The most joy I get in our day-to-day operation is when we are able to quickly review and analyze a college baseball program in minutes and provide for a parent critical insights of that school based on their college profile,” says Crichlow. “Our goal is to be the leading source of college baseball information and help student-athletes find the right college to continue their academic and baseball careers.
“I love that we can reduced a student-athlete’s college research time from hours to minutes. Researching and narrowing down a target list of schools can otherwise take hundreds of hours to complete.”
Crichlow, through personal experience and his interactions with parents and athletes, is well aware of the value in clearly defining a client’s needs and marrying that need with a preferred college.
“In today’s rapidly evolving world, what we do at College Baseball Insights must be transformative and groundbreaking,” Crichlow says, “by providing timely and relevant information, thus helping student-athletes and parents make better decisions concerning the college recruiting process.”
