In many cases they are demeaned and treated like peons - and they receive little to no coaching. The program keeps them because they might develop into productive players but the program doesn’t care about them until they can actually help win games.
Then why do coaches even bother to recruit them? How about schools only recruit kids they feel are going to make an immediate, or near immediate impact? Save everyone a lot of time and heartache.
40 players are allowed on D1 rosters this year. There are only 9 positions on the field. Only 8-10 pitchers will get meaningful innings. Maybe 12 position players get a good number of at bats. Every recruited player doesn’t get the opportunity to make an impact. I’m just telling you the way it is. Some recruits are nothing more than insurance policies. You have to be smart enough and realistic enough to know where you stack up.
