Middlesex's (2011) Harley Moore commits to Dickinson College!

Our son, Harley, has been playing baseball for as long as we can remember. He has attended many camps and taken pitching lessons for several years. He has played the travel ball circuit and participated in quite a few college prospect events. Harley always wanted the chance to pay ball in college  while getting a strong education We, as parents, felt we were doing everything right in terms of getting him proper instruction and affording him lots of exposure to college coaches. Little did we know that his pitching video would prove to be the most valuable tool?

We hired Rich Prado of Play In School to film and create the video.  [Coach Milburn discovered the video while searching for Harley's high school coach's e-mail address.]  We had never met Jeff, yet he took it upon himself to send Harley’s pitching video to his college contacts for their consideration. He sent us an email to alert us to his actions and mentioned that we might get a “few” emails from coaches. Within 3 hours, we received over a dozen emails from coaches from all over the East Coast. One contact piqued our interest and turned out to be the perfect mix of a great baseball program and solid academics.  To make a long story short, Harley was recruited by Dickinson College and received a substantial educational grant to pursue his studies and baseball, as a direct result of Coach Milburn’s efforts.

The recruitment process can be a daunting and expensive pursuit without a game plan. There are many people you will meet along the way who will love to take your money with little promise of any meaningful results. Coach Milburn has made a commitment to assist Virginia players with this process, and to offer them as much exposure to as many potential schools as possible at an affordable price. Obviously, his college contacts value his input, as evidenced by the number of responses we received by his one email. We would recommend Coach Milburn’s services to anyone who is looking to play baseball in college. He can be instrumental in exposing various baseball programs to you while broadening your college search, as well. With any luck, you will have your perfect school fall into your lap like Dickinson did for Harley. 

Thanks, Coach Milburn!

P.S.  Keep in mind that, while D1 and D2 give athletic scholarships, D3 schools can offer substantially more money in terms of educational grants…and they might be better academic institutions. You can attend a school that might be otherwise financially out of reach for you, get a great education, and play baseball, too!
