Baseball: Former Commit Zach Fish To Okie St.

Via the Kalamazoo Gazette:

In April, the Gull Lake all-state baseball player accepted a scholarship offer to the University of Michigan. Weeks later, he re-opened his recruitment.

Recently, Fish was invited to be the lone Michigan representative and labeled among the top 60 from the U.S. to partake in the Power Showcase International High School Home Run Derby Dec. 27-30 at Chase Field in Phoenix.

This afternoon in the main conference room at Gull Lake High School, Fish will sign a national letter-of-intent with Oklahoma State University.

It goes on to say they offered 70% scholarship, and that he was sold on the Big XII's ability to produce more pro players and the Big XII's 16-4 record against the Big Ten last year.

/slams-head-on-desk

Today was early signing day for quite a few Michigan sports. Baseball is yet to publish the list of early signees, but I expect it out in the next few days.

30% of out-of-state tuition to a not very academically strong school like Okie State.

From what I understand, he was offered 50% to attend Michigan. The price difference wouldn't have been huge. Oklahoma State's out of state tuition would been around $25k for the year. That's only about a $2k difference per year from half off in-state tuition at Michigan.

If his goal is to play in the majors, $2k extra per year over 3 years probably isn't a deterrent.

What's the standard w/r/t College baseball scholarships?  I'm sure it varies by program but is a partial scholarship standard?  Do sports like football have a similar structure in place?

Baseball is limited to 11.7 scholarships per team. Obviously, with a roster closer to 25, there are either more partials or fewer full scholarships. Not many of Michigan's players ever have more than 50% unless they are the "very special" types. 

On top of that, there are also some schools that choose to operate below the 11.7 maximum. I've heard that Northwestern divides up something like 7 scholarships. Some of the New England schools don't even offer scholarships. With baseball being less of a money maker up north (several schools in the south make profit from baseball), the northern schools just offer opportunity and not scholarship.

FYI... Michigan offered Travis Maezes from A2 Pioneer a 100% scholarship a couple weeks ago after he started getting calls from all the SEC/ACC schools in the south. He just received an offer from Virginia and UNC wants to see him in person before offering him.

I played against him 3 years in high school...Never was really that impressed with him.  Great hitter, but hasn't got the defensive skills to make him a superstar.  It would've been nice to see him in maize and blue tho

As much as I would have loved to see him in the Maize and Blue, I wish him good luck. As long as the Big Ten is a "mid-major" conference, it will be tough to get high profile recruits regularly, although I have faith that we will be competitive regardless.

I'm also feeling Bluegill about this... He had a really good walleye for the ball. While he was still Ruffie on defense, but I thought he could take a Perch among our best offensive players.

Who knows, he may Flounder in college ball. I wish him the Bass of luck.

I would bet Oklahoma state has some crazy-great athletic facilities.   And playing in the south, without the weather constraints we have up here?  Also a draw.  Wish he were going to be a wolverine, but I wish him the best.
