Terrific schools. S1 is a college BB player who was looked at by one of those schools, and S2 is a HS BB player with interest in CE/CS interest, so I am familiar with the territory.
-Williams ranks as THE best LAC year after year. If they want you, and it’s a fit, you have to strongly consider it. When S1 was making the rounds, Williams did not have a rep as a BB program that went out of their way to recruit. Academics drive the bus there, as they should.

Bowdoin is very similar to Williams. I wouldn’t say that they are known for their BB, but it’s a terrific school.

Middlebury has a relatively new coach, a new field, and really good facilities. Also a really good school. Have heard good things. Son didn’t go further with them just because he had alternatives that he liked better, but he fell in love with the weight room.
None of those schools would be ones that I would go to for CS, but they are so strong otherwise that they are great choices. Go with the one that fits your son best, both socially, academically, and baseball wise. Have you considered D3’s like Johns Hopkins? They are a D3 powerhouse, and have a strong baseball program. WashU is similar, as is Case Western, Tufts. All excellent, bigger D3 schools with good baseball, and better, or at least bigger CS departments.

Stevens is an outlier, to me, for obvious reasons.
You might also want to bark up Brown’s tree. It has a strong CS department. A D1, obviously, but a bit of a bottom feeder, so they are often looking for high stats BB talent. A 6’2" LHP would probably have to be able to touch mid/high 80’s, sit low/mid 80’s with at least one good breaking pitch and have the ability to hit spots consistently.
