5'0'', 140 lbs, haven't played since Little League, GPA: 2.0

Awww. We're sure you were great as the catcher for the Pizza Factory Dodgers. But if you didn't play in high school, your chance of stepping up with the big dogs is zilch. Focus on upping those grades instead, because yikes.

5'3'', 137 lbs, home to B1 < 3.3, pitch: +46, GPA: 3.4

You earned a spot on the varsity team as an upperclassman. Congratulations. You like softball, but you like Netflix and biology way more: a match made in heaven. You'd probably enjoy a recreational league or club team a lot more than the NCAA.

5'5'', 150 lbs, home to B1 < 3.1, pitch; +58, GPA: 3.5

You were a shoo-in to play for your high school's varsity team and have been a starter for all four years. Your team loses a lot, though. Like, a whole lot. Plus, you're not in a competitive region. You can have a great batting average and fantastic fielding and base running stats, but if you're playing with a weak team against other weak teams, it's going to be a lot harder to get the college coaches' attention.

You're a key player for a marquee Varsity team. If you were injured, your coach might worry about your team's prospects of winning the championships. You've been selected as an All-League player and nominated for All-District. Chances are, you've already submitted your recruiting tapes and have been chatting on the phone with several coaches.

The sports reporter for your city's largest newspaper knows your name well. You're a four-year starter, an ace pitcher with a wicked fastball, and you won the State Championships for your team, pitching a no-hitter against a ruthless opponent. Your mom had to rent out extra storage space for all your awards, too. If you squint a bit, you can see the recruiters hiding behind the shrubbery outside your house, waiting to ask if you'd pretty please come play for them.
