Has anyone seen Mike Snider from LCC play? He is a stud. A man among boys as one might say. This kid has a stellar arm and outstanding batting mechanics. Look for him to be a buckeye in the futute and possibly be drafted into the MLB within the next few years.

Yes, great ball player. Is OSU really the best option for him? How does the Big Ten stand in NCAA baseball?

ya Snider is a good catcher and probally the best in the NWC. But I do not think he is high D1 material. He might be able to go to some a small D1 school like Miami (OH) but I think he is not high D1 prospect.

Let me know when SEC schools start looking, talking and offering a scholarship to him; before you have him as MLB material.

Exactly! Don't say we are going to be watching him in the MLB when he does not even have a big time school that has offered him yet. I don't even think he has even had a major league scout or any big time scouts that have looked at him. There have been plenty of players in Northwest Ohio that are better than Snider that never made it to the big leagues. So don't be saying he is MLB material when he is hardly getting any looks. Plus, there are other players in Northwest Ohio that are better than Snider. Two are can even catcher. Casey Schroder (sp?) from OG and Anthony Kingston (sp?) from Defiance are better than Snider. Now I am not bashing Snider or anything, I just do not think he is good enough to play in the big leagues or in a big D1 school. I think his best fit would be a small D1 or even a good D2 program.

I would never come on a public form to a bash a player at any level who has a desire to play at the next level. I have seen both Snider and Schroeder play this fall on the same team. Let's be serious on here about the talent level of each. There are reason folks much smarter than all of us on a public form have players slotted in specific levels (D-1, D-2, D-3 or MLB Draft) and it has nothing to do with BP.

My intitial post was not intended to draw other player names into the discussion. It very easily could have read southern PAC-10 schools. Please understand the next level for high school players goes D-3, D-2, Jr. College, D-1, SEC/PAC-10 D-1 and MLB Draft ready. Let's keep the discussion to the original thread LCC Catcher.

Take it easy FanMan. You brought alot of this Casey Schroeder "talk" onto this thread, now deal with the repurcussions and discussion. BTW, give me a call sometime.

If healty, Schroeder has the talent to play scholarship ball somewhere. By no means flying under the radar. Florida schools no his name. Might even get drafted out of H.S.

Guys, let's be real here. Snider is good for a high school catcher but i doubt this kid will be able to go D1 and play as of now. From what I've heard, his work ethic isn't where it should be for a D1 athlete. I've been to many many Lima Legion games and he's one of the greatest guys to be around and have on the team. In my opinion Mike should go the JUCO route. It's honestly what most baseball players should do in my mind because the talent level in the NWC is so low that the transition is tough. Even legion can't compare to the talent at a good D3 school (ex. Marietta, Heidelberg). How many NWC players have went on to good D3 schools and played all four years? Heck, how many players in the area have went on to play D3 ball and played all 4 years. Not very many and there is a reason for that. The competition is so much better at any college you go to pretty much.

I am with you on that. College baseball is so time demanding and it is tough to be a student athlete. You really have to want to do it. I think a JUCO would be good for Snider. I know there are some good JUCO teams around here.

The JUCO schools in our area have more talent than any of the D-3 schools in our area. JUCO is where a lot of the D-1 programs are getting their players.

I'm glad the JUCO topic came up. I did some research into this back in the Spring of 2009. I get Collegiate Baseball newspaper, and every Spring it has the Top 25 rankings for DI DII DIII and NAIA, as well as NJCAA DI DII & DIII. In the ranking they have listings of returning players, as well as NEWCOMERS.
I tallied up the total of all NEWCOMERS from DI DII & DIII.
What I discovered was that back in Spring 2009; 22% of NEWCOMERS to the teams in the Top 25 Pre-season DI rankings were Juco transfers or other transfers in general. That surprised me. I thought that there would be more JUCO transfers into the Top 25 teams, but in actualality the Top 25 teams are "almost always" going to get the recruits they are after. However, I'm sure the lesser NCAA DI schools do have to scour the JUCO ranks.
Where I was shellshocked was in DII. In Spring of 2009, I had it tallied at like 77% of NEWCOMERS to the Top 25 NCAA DII schools were JUCO or other transfers in general.
The DIII Juco transfer rate was less than 10%, from what I recall.

Does anyone know, is Casey Schroeder healthy, will he be OG catcher this spring?
