• When should a player write a letter of introduction to a college coach? (9th grade, 10th grade, etc.)
  
• Do sending copies of high school / summer team statistics help? Are they of value to you, when included with an introductory letter?
  
• Are the "online" internet recruiting services taken seriously by college coaches? Would you recommend them to a high school player and his family?

These are a few of the questions asked to a college baseball coach on recruiting.  It's always good to get a college coach's perspective, and that's exactly what you get with Davidson's baseball recruiting coordinator Damon Towe.

High School Baseball Web did the interview a couple years ago, but the information is still relevant today.  I thought you'd benefit from it.
