States that Produce the Most Talent Question

[BRJacket]

I have an earlier than expected offseason question for you beesball nuts...

I have been wondering which states produce the most baseball talent. Are any of you aware of any data regarding this?

Baseball cube is where I used to go. Now you have to pay for queries I think.

Anyway, I think it's Florida and California by total number for college ball. But per capita, I don't know.

I appreciate the input. I am mainly interested in talent produced in high school by state for college recruiting purposes. When I do a search for it with Google, it just returns results for basketball and football instead.

Here is some mlb data. Florida, California lead, but Georgia is third on a per capita basis. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/baseball-hotbeds-where-do-pro-baseball-players-come-from/

This is terrific! Thanks for finding and sharing.

The immediate outlier that I see is Connecticut. They are the only non sun belt state considered to be a “hot spot”. I was also surprised they top South Carolina in production (per capita). It will be interesting to see if Boston College can ever tap into that talent

This Baseball Cube should be able to answer any question related to . But it'll take some mining......

www.collegebaseballinsights.com is ridiculous with data and detail about schools, programs, recruits, GPA, test scores, positions, etc.

Wow, from those maps, not a surprise that West coast teams have problems scheduling quality opponents...

If I'm not mistaken, Tech was supposed to head to UCLA next year. Will be disappointing if we can't do so.
