If you're talking about baseball opportunities, generally, more will be given to the athletic scholy player.
I know I'm stating the obvious... why do i feel like this is sort of a trick question?
Johnlanza, what is the back story here?
Not a trick question at all - I was probably a little vague.
At a prospect camp, this question came up (not me, it was another parent) during the parent Q&A with the head coach. His answer surprised me a bit. He said non-athletic scholarship position players have equal chances with scholarship players to become starters.
i figured it would be similar to a first round pick getting more opportunities than say a tenth round pick - you ride the pick (or scholarship athlete) until they prove they can’t play.
