Elevate Your Game with Post Grad Edge
Post Grad Edge Academy - where Development is the Difference- is for graduating high school seniors, international players, and some college transfers that provides a gap period (gap year or post-grad year) to develop and compete on a college level without losing a year of college eligibility. While maintaining the option of still starting your college academics with up to 9 credit hours.
With the Transfer Portal, roster sizes, additional COVID years and NIL money, college players are staying on college rosters longer and it can be very difficult to get a roster spot right out of high school. PGE will give players an extra year to get faster, stronger, and develop as a student athlete. We play a full fall and spring schedule against college teams without our players losing a year of college eligibility. Players will enroll in local colleges and take up to 9 hours a semester (over 9 hours you will lose your eligibility) that will go towards a degree.
Why Post Grad Edge
Reasons to join the PGE Waves
Due to the various reasons stated above, colleges need an immediate impact on their rosters. Most college teams do not have the time frame to develop players over 2-3 years and need impact players right away.
Growth, physicality, and body development is different from one player to another. This means some players give up on the opportunity to play college baseball due to their size and lack of development way too soon. Most players see this increase in size and strength happen after they graduate from high school. High D1 and D2 college baseball has never been more competitive than right now. Players are passing up on going to the MLB draft and staying in college baseball with the NIL opportunities. This creates a roadblock for college players with less opportunities available to pursue college baseball.
This NEW College Game is a huge jump for high school ball players to adjust to. D1 Power 5 baseball talent is on level of low-level professional baseball, and the talent in the Top 25 is on level with AA professional baseball. Players coming off injuries that did not have a senior year to showcase their ability need a place where they can show colleges that they are healthy and can contribute to a program. College Freshman who went to college only to find out that playing time is extremely hard to get when competing against 40-50 players on the roster. Other players did not have the ability to be seen with high level players ahead of them on the roster or coming from schools that were not heavily recruited.
