Taking baseball as an example, the gold content of first-class baseball players is relatively high, but there are project characteristics in the specific value embodiment, and the following is a targeted analysis:

1. Characteristics of evaluation standards

Event threshold

You need to play the main role in the top 3 of the National Youth Championship/U18 Champions Cup, the top 2 of the National Student Games, etc

International competition requirements: Represent China in continental competitions such as the Asian Youth Baseball Championship

Technical standards

Batting Average≥ 0.35 (0.28-0.33 by Pro League Standards)

The success rate of guarding ≥ 95% (infielders need to complete double kills to meet the standard)

Pitcher ERA (ERA) ≤ 2.50 (Pro League Average ERA of about 3.80)

2. Advantages of further education

Special recruitment channel for colleges and universities

Tsinghua University (baseball and softball high-level team): 65% of cultural courses can be admitted (296 points in 2023)

Shanghai Wai Chinese University: 6 baseball players are recruited every year, and the major is not limited

Springboard for studying abroad

Japanese universities (Waseda University, etc.) are open to Chinese first-class baseball players

NCAA D1 colleges in the United States offer scholarships to players with a batting average of 0.35+ (12 Chinese students will go to the United States through this route in 2023)

3. Career development prospects

Professional league system

China Baseball League (CBL): The annual salary of the main players is 15-300,000 yuan (a total of 8 professional teams in the 2023 season)

MLB China Development Center: Guaranteed annual salary of 500,000+ contracted players (currently 27 players are sent to minor leagues)

Youth training needs

Coaching positions in MLB baseball development centers such as Beijing and Wuxi require first-class athlete qualifications, with a starting salary of 18-250,000 yuan/year

The gap in baseball coaching positions in international schools in Shenzhen and Chengdu increased by 30% year-on-year (2023 data)

Fourth, the particularity of the project

Team attribute premium

It is necessary to meet the standards in collective abilities such as defensive formation and tactical execution (the referee team additionally evaluates tactical awareness)

In 2023, only 42 people in the country will pass the first-level athlete certification, and the elimination rate is as high as 85%

Opportunities in emerging areas

Soft baseball enters the physical education class of primary and secondary schools, and the holder of the certificate can participate in the curriculum research and development of the Ministry of Education (800-1500 yuan per hour)

E-sports baseball ("Live Power Baseball", etc.) professional leagues open cross-border channels for athletes

Suggest a development path

16-18 years old: Hit the main position of the national U18 competition, and prepare Japanese/English at the same time (necessary for studying abroad)

University level: choose sports rehabilitation or sports management major (60% of MLB China management has a composite background)

Career planning: Focus on emerging fields such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Baseball League (3 new professional teams will be added in 2025) and electronic baseball referees

The Level 1 baseball player certificate has a scarce value in a niche high-end market and is suitable for athletes who pursue international development, but it should be noted that a new certification system may be introduced in MLB China 2026.
