Viking0 posted:I'd be interested in comparing baseball rosters with the regular College population. Most public Universities primarily have students from their own state or close by (where as RJM stated there may be reciprocity agreements). Also, getting as far away from home sounds fun in theory, but going from one culture/climate to another on top of the major life change going to College brings, can cause major issues. My oldest can't wait to get away, but when he is presented with the difference in cost (and that his parents will not cover the entire difference), his enthusiasm dissipates somewhat.
What RJM stated is correct. Most college baseball rosters are comprised mostly of players from the home state. Players from bordering states make up most of the rest of the roster along with a few outliers.
