Based on the information that’s been shared, these are some schools your son might want to investigate. They are sorted by my guesses as to what your son’s chances for admission might be.

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

  • Christopher Newport (VA): About 4400 undergrads with D3 baseball and a wonderful location for those who love the water

  • Coastal Carolina (SC): About 10k undergrads, D1 baseball

  • Samford (AL): About 3700 undergrads with D1 baseball. High percentage of undergrads in Greek life and was very favorably viewed in recent Wall Street Journal college rankings (source).

Likely (60-79%)

  • Florida Southern: About 2700 undergrads in a town called Lakeland with a campus on a lake about halfway between Tampa and Orlando. D2 baseball

  • Hampden-Sydney (VA): This school is definitely a small school rather than a medium-sized one, but I have a sense that it might end up appealing. About 850 undergrads at this all-male school with D3 baseball, and another school that was very favorably viewed by the WSJ (same source).

Toss-Up (40-59%)

  • Loyola Marymount (CA): About 7300 undergrads at this L.A. Jesuit school. D1 baseball

  • Pepperdine (CA): About 3700 undergrads at this school with stunning views of the Pacific from its Malibu location. D1 baseball.

  • Rollins (FL): About 2600 undergrads on this lakeside campus just outside of Orlando with D2 baseball

  • Santa Clara (CA): About 6100 undergrads with D1 baseball

  • U. of San Diego (CA): About 5700 undergrads with D1 baseball

  • U. of Tampa (FL): About 9600 undergrads with D2 baseball

Lower Probability (20-39%)

  • Trinity (TX): About 2500 undergrads at this San Antonio school with D3 baseball

  • U. of Richmond (VA): About 3100 undergrads, and there’s actually whitewater rafting available in the city itself. D1 baseball.

  • William & Mary (VA): About 6800 undergrads with D1 baseball

Low Probability (less than 20%)

  • Tulane (LA: About 8800 undergrads at this New Orleans school with D1 baseball

Christopher Newport, Hampden-Sydney, and Trinity are the only ones with D3 baseball, so my guess would be that those would be his best shots at playing on the varsity level (Florida Southern, Rollins, and U. of Tampa are D2, so probably the next best chance).
