Most D1 baseball players leave home to play, and how many stay depends far more on the state than on the division. In Louisiana, 74% of the D1 players from the state play for a college there. In Wisconsin, with one D1 college, 15% do.
Two numbers describe each state. What share of the D1 players from the state stay home? And what share of its D1 rosters is home-grown? In Florida, only 39% of the state's D1 players stay home, yet Florida's D1 rosters are 63% home-grown.
Florida has more D1 players than roster spots: about 760 D1 players are from Florida, and its colleges have about 470 spots. Even if every spot went to a Floridian, about 290 would play somewhere else.

How we counted
- We counted about 38,000 players with listed hometowns on 939 NCAA D1, D2 and D3 rosters for the 2026 season, as of October 14, 2026.
- A player is in-state when the hometown on the roster is in the college's state. Players from Puerto Rico, Canada and other countries count as out of state.
- Some colleges list only a city for local players; on those rosters, we assume a hometown with no state is in-state.
