<p>Anyone know anything about this team? I'd love to play if I went there, and I think that since I'm a pretty good player I would be able to be on the team. How is D3 baseball?</p>
<p>I dropped the recruiter an e-mail and carbon copied the coach...I'm hoping to God they get back to me.</p>
<p>I don't know anything about the team but one of my classmates is supposedly really good and was seriously considering playing for MIT. It was one of his top 3 choices alongside Davidson (a D1 school, I think it's top in baseball, but I could be wrong)...so MIT must be pretty good even for a D3 school.</p>
<p>One of the guys I work with in the lab was on the team (class of '07) -- if you'd like to have his email, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to chat with you.</p>
<p>Yea go ahead and PM me it.</p>
<p>Definitely interested in MIT baseball as well. Is it a very selective team? I'm not a star but I'm decent (2-time 2nd team all conference going into senior year, but our conference is weak)...do you have to be very good to make the team?</p>

<li>In the past several years the MIT baseball team has had winning records, and I believe they have finished third in the NEWMAC for the last three years</li>
<li>When I looked at their roster, it seemed like there were only around 24 players on the team, whereas a lot of college carry teams of about 32. It's quite possible that there aren't many cuts, but the key is getting into MIT in the first place.</li>

<p>My coworker says* the team is pretty competitive, and that the guy who's coaching now came in about five years ago and has made the team pretty good. He says there are cuts at tryouts, and that you have to have played and been pretty good in high school to make the team.</p>
<p>He advises anybody who's interested to contact the coach, who will be able to give more information.</p>
<p>*We do talk about science in the lab too. :) This morning's topic just happened to be baseball.</p>
