Honestly, look at Wyoming. They have some amazing D1 programs, but everyone forgets that there are even people there. There are also some small colleges in Utah that people use as pathways to some of the bigger ones, so that's always an option. But also, make sure to take what you want in the future into consideration (so like if you want to go pro, make sure you pick a college that has lots of spotlight, but also that you would perform well in, as well as one that has lots of pro potential).
Send your tape to a couple of coaches in your area. Try and get yourself out there for colleges to take notice of you. It is very hard to get into D1 or D2 college basketball programs as a walk-on player. Baseball, I don't know as much about, so I can't really say.
I saw somebody mention Ball State - great suggestion. My main recommendation is to get yourself out there. Attend some camps. Invite scouts to watch you play, etc. Try and get yourself some stars. If you're confident enough, I have some recommendations.
Ball State
Ohio University
Miami (OH)
Toledo
Pittsburgh
Kent State
Eastern Michigan
Central Michigan
Western Michigan (lots of Michigans)
Bowling Green
NIU (Northern Illinois)
Depending on where in Ohio you live, you can actually go to college out of state for In-state tuition. I've heard that Ball State University (Indiana) has a great basketball program aswell as many great major programs. I've done some research and some of their more generic credits transfer if yoy decide to switch your major later on down the road. Hope this helps.
University of Michigan has D1 basketball.
You may want to look at some Wisconsin schools for baseball for NCAA! Basketball i would head farther west coast!
