Reply to "Baseball Program Philosophy"

Question still stands; What does being a great 1600 meter runner have to do with baseball? I will and have taken the approach of just do it. But that kind of thought process may limit the amount of participation you have in your program.

Example: Lets say you have a incoming freshman that has played VERY high select baseball and plays football. Many times in big schools kids decide to specialize in one sport. If the baseball program has a pre-requisite of sub 6:00 in the 1600 or you get cut, then the kid will find something else to do. What if that kid decides to play football only?

Here is how it works. The freshmen walk on campus and want to sign up for the basbeball program. First day they are dragged to the track and told to run a mile. The potential players that are over the 6:00 will have to change there schedule. Is this smart? The potential players are not aware of the requirement, thus many have not trained for this.
