Episode Overview:
Host Walter Beede dives into one of the most competitive and academically elite corners of college baseball — the NESCAC Conference, home to the “Little Ivies.” Joining Walter is Matt Colbert, Assistant Baseball Coach at Williams College, to discuss recruiting, academics, and what it takes to play in one of the nation’s top Division III programs.
Coach Colbert shares how Williams recruits high-academic student-athletes, what “pre-read” and “early decision” mean, and how Division III baseball has become a true destination for top players seeking both elite academics and high-level competition.
Key Highlights:
🎓 Academics First: Why GPA and test scores are the first “metrics” recruiters check.
🧠 The Pre-Read Process: How admissions vetting works for high-academic programs.
💪 Athletic Standards: What coaches look for beyond stats and showcase results.
💰 Financial Aid, Not Scholarships: Understanding how DIII programs structure support.
⚾ Division III ≠ Drop-off: How NESCAC talent stacks up with D1-level arms and hitters.
🏫 Life at Williams: The unmatched value of a Williams degree and alumni network.
Coach’s Advice:
“Your GPA is the most important stat you have.
Don’t play catch-up later — start building your transcript from day one.”
