[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, which area do you live, and how competitive are you looking for? KOA and OBGC (Olney) are also established organizations. [/quote].

In MoCo, add Sandy Spring Falcons.

There are also many outside of MoCo. Join one of the Maryland travel baseball Facebook groups and look for tryouts according to your son’s age. Or post your son’s age, position, etc.

Most tryouts happen in June, not late summer.

Talk to other parents. The two orgs you mention in your OP can be polarizing and yield really different experiences, depending on the coach and your experience with the top- level men who run the business. I would not recommend either.

OP here--We are new to the area (North Bethesda), so don't have parents to talk to about different organizations. The two I mentioned in my post were two that came up in internet searches. Can you elaborate on the polarizing/yield really different experiences comment? DS is a possibility for playing D3, but I would say D1 is unlikely. [/quote]

How old was your son on May 1, 2026, and when is anticipated graduation year?

The best advice I can offer is to get into the Facebook groups, go to tryouts, see what you think of the coaches and recruiting directors, and maybe chat up other parents.

Look at the planned schedule - will your child be playing in front of college scouts or local tournaments?

Dig In typically has one or two high level teams and then multiple “regional” teams that are just there to bankroll the high-level teams.

The same is true of Ole Liners based in Gaithersburg.

Look into KOA Waves showcase teams, as well as Sandy Spring.

The Prospects have not fielded very good teams in recent years, and the parents were not happy with the org or the coaching. It’s a lot of talk and bluster, but low quality.

Connect with your high school baseball coach to ask about a summer baseball team with future high school teammates. Also, depending on age and ability, connect with a local training facility and maybe start going to college camps or individual showcases.
