Common Questions

Quick answers

What graduation class is Marcos Collado in?
Marcos Collado is in the high school class of 2030.
What position does he play?
He is primarily a right-handed pitcher and a developing two-way player who also plays corner outfield.
What high school does he attend?
American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida, on the Pre-Engineering track.
Has he played a high school season yet?
Not yet. He entered his freshman year in August 2026, so the figures on this site are pre-high-school baselines rather than high school performance.
Which team does he play on?
He is on the JV squad of an unsanctioned fall side made up of American Heritage students. Florida high school baseball is a spring sport, so this is not the school's sanctioned program and the side does not compete under the school's team name. His first sanctioned high school season is spring 2027.
Is the fall schedule official school competition?
No. Florida high school baseball is a spring sport under FHSAA. The fall fixtures listed here are development games played outside that season by a side that does not compete under the school's team name.
Is he registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center?
Yes. His NCAA Eligibility Center ID is 2609186125 and appears on the scouting report. Registering does not change the recruiting calendar: Division I coaches still may not initiate contact before August 1, 2028 for the class of 2030.
Has he specialized in pitching?
No. He is listed as a right-handed pitcher first, but he has not stopped developing as a hitter. The most recent third-party assessment on this site, in August 2026, measured his hitting rather than his pitching.
What does his academic record look like?
He carried a 4.0 GPA through eighth grade at Nativity Catholic School and earned the Presidential Education Award for Educational Excellence. He is taking AP Human Geography as a freshman alongside Honors English and Honors Biology.
How consistent has his training been?
He has returned to El Niche Baseball Academy in Santo Domingo across three separate offseasons since April 2025, and trains year-round in South Florida between those blocks.
Why does this site show baseline measurements instead of a highlight reel?
Because he has not played a high school season yet, a highlight reel would be selective by necessity. Every figure here carries the date it was recorded and its source, so a coach can see where he started and whether the numbers move. Training and showcase footage going back several years is on his YouTube channel, and game footage is added there as it exists.
Is he willing to be measured by a third party?
Yes. The hitting figures on this site come from a Rapsodo-tracked session run by Kinetic Baseball Academy, and the full assessment report is available to coaches on request, including the portions that are not flattering.
When can a college coach contact him?
Under current NCAA Division I baseball rules, coaches may not initiate contact before August 1 before junior year, which is August 1, 2028 for the class of 2030. Rules differ at Division II and below. His parents will respond to anything received in the meantime.
How should a college coach get in touch?
Marcos is a minor, so all recruiting inquiries are received and handled by his parents through the contact page on this site.
