Book Your Eval & Consult
$450
Most recruiting advice is generic. It talks about the process, the timelines, the systems. What it almost never does is talk about your specific athlete - who they are, where they actually stand, and what path makes the most sense for them right now.
That's exactly what this consultation is.
The Player Consultation is a focused 60-minute conversation between your family and Coach Beede - built entirely around your student athlete. Not a template. Not a generic checklist. A real, direct conversation about your kid's game, their academics, their character, and where all of that realistically takes them in college sports.
Coach Beede has seen thousands of players. He knows what college coaches are actually looking for - and he'll tell you the truth, even when the truth is hard to hear. Especially then.
** Your evaluation includes evaluation write up and a complimentary PDF copy of The Recruiting Process by Walter Beede (a $19.99 value).
What the consultation covers
A deep read on your athlete's current ability level — where they genuinely stand today, not where you hope they'll be
Athletic strengths and the honest gaps - what needs to improve for the next level to be realistic
Academic profile and how it shapes opportunity - GPA, coursework, and which schools that opens or closes
Realistic division fit - D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO based on who your athlete actually is right now
The right types of schools to target - fit-based, not hype-based
Recruiting timeline guidance - what your athlete should be doing now given their grade and level
Answers to your specific questions - no question is off the table
Who Coach Beede is
Coach Walter Beede is a former professional player and the father of Tyler Beede — a first-round MLB draft pick and Major League pitcher. He has lived this journey from both sides of the fence: as a player who made it, and as a parent who navigated every decision, every showcase, every conversation with college coaches. His entire philosophy is built on one belief — that your athlete's academic excellence matters as much as their athletic ability, and that the right college decision honors both.
Your athlete is unique. Their path should be too. Book a Player Consultation with Coach Beede and spend 60 minutes getting the kind of honest, specific, experienced guidance that most families never find — until it's too late in the process.
One conversation can change the entire trajectory of your recruiting journey.
Bradley - father of Baron
"Walter has been a Godsend for us. He's provided written material and a clear plan and path for our son's success. Without Walter, we wouldn't be where we are today. We're so excited that our son is getting to visit and being recruited and offered by several D1 schools. That's his dream."
Mark - father of Cole
"The biggest change I've seen is the level of personal responsibility my son is learning. He's focused on his training, his nutrition, his hydration, his sleep — all on his own. Walter is the kind of mentor you want for your kid, because it's not just about baseball. It's about the life lessons you learn through baseball."
Dave Serrano - HC, Johnson University
"When it comes to guiding families and student-athletes through the complexities of their high school years—improving every aspect of their game and navigating their journey—I can't think of anyone more qualified than Walter Beede. With his extensive background and deep knowledge, Walter has not only been through this process before but has also demonstrated unwavering loyalty and a commitment to the best interests of the student-athletes he mentors."
A trusted parent - academic pathway
"Coach Beede offers something rare — truth, experience, and a genuine commitment to the long-term success of the student-athlete. He understands not only baseball, but the importance of finding the right academic and developmental fit."
Eric Cressey - President, Cressey Sports
"While baseball is a beautiful game, the business side of it can often be harsh, with intricate rules, policies, and decisions that can affect a player's future. This is where Walter truly shines — his insight and expertise allow families to focus on what matters most: finding the right academic and athletic fit. With Walter in your corner, guiding you through not just the college recruiting process but the entire journey from high school to college, you can move forward with greater confidence and peace of mind."
Alysa - mother of Joshua
"Walter has been a Godsend for us. He's provided written material and a clear plan and path for our son's success. Without Walter, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Travis Jewett, Assistant Coach USC
There are very few people in this business that know the process better than Walter. His firsthand experience as a player, coach, teacher, and Dad is second to none. I trust Walter.
Jeff, father of Jake
Coach, I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Meeting you in the parking lot at Showball at Tufts has changed Jake's life forever. He graduated from Deerfield today. We have you to thank for all of this. Our gratitude is immeasurable. Thank you!!!!
