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.

-----------------------------

In our district, JV is for development and varsity is for competition, so no one is guaranteed time at the varsity level. Let the below average kid represent his school at the JV level.

IMHO, there's nothing wrong with competition at the high school level. You are not doing an 18 year old a favor by letting him play if he's not as good as the others. Life doesn't work that way.
