I appreciate the responses from everyone! It is easy to despair and consider the post-high school dream unattainable when reading the stats of so many unbelievably talented kids.

There is a decent level of competition in college baseball for every competent high school player willing to put in the work. What stops a lot of kids is not understand how much work putting in the work really is. It's really about wanting it.

A friend's 5'9 160 son was an all conference high school pitcher throwing about 80. He had a successful college career pitching for a ranked D3. More importantly his pitching got him over the top to being admitted to one of the top academic colleges in the country.
