DP - Where are these serious HS baseball players who don’t devote an ungodly amount of time to baseball in the off season? Which HS are you at?[/quote]
You don't need to dedicate massive amounts of time to baseball. Not even pros practice year around.

The truth about baseball and other sports is that your genetics and god given traits determine how good you're going to be. Life would be much better for kids and parents if everyone just accepted that you can't work your way to being a D1 Athlete. Rudy was a Disney movie and not real life.[/quote]

This is a silly comment.  Corona HS in CA is the #1 baseball team in the country and they have two kids that will be drafted in the 1st and 2nd round of the MLB.  The other starting 7 are all D1.

Those kids work their asses off and play for the BPA travel team in the offseason.

What kids in any sport aren’t “working” and playing for a Power 4 D1?

BTW, Trevor Bauer who is also an MLB pitcher admitted he is a terrible athlete.  He did a general workout for an MLB team and the person running the workout said his general athletic stats (running speed, vertical leap, etc) were about what a 50 year old rec player would produce.  [/quote]

HS baseball in the DMV is a special kind of crazy. And, it’s going to get worse with the new NCAA D1 roster changes. [/quote]
