quote:IMO, HS baseball is the last opportunity for the kids who will not go one to play at the next level to represent their school and play the sport they have passion for but average skills.
I agree with that in that most HS players don't play beyond HS and many varsity coaches will look for spots to get their seniors that ride the bench some playing time they might not get as underclassmen which is a good thing. Decent coaches know how to do this seamlessly.
As for the average skill players, that's true but there are also many above averge players who hang up the spikes after their senior year as well who could've done well at the college level but have decided to move on after HS.
