If the coach did not explicitly say you are on his “list” (the one he gives to admissions specifying his top recruits) then the baseball effect would be negligent. If he has said “I will support” your application (tell admissions he’d like to have you on the team but he will not use one of his coveted “slots” for you, then your sport can be a little boost, assuming you have the academics of other top applicants.

If the coach has said nothing, well, you will be reviewed as a normal applicant, but the baseball will not be a boost, and you will need other great ECs to appeal to the adcom.
