Reply to "2016 player who just ended first season in HS Baseball, how do I start to be recognized by college coaches?"

I completely understand where you are going with this, and generally, your point could be viewed as good advice. However, depending on the school one attends, and the level of competition in the area, it is not uncommon to have Division 1 caliber high school freshmen playing on the JV team.

It happens somewhat regular around here!
