Reply to "College Fall Cuts"

Son (2020) was lucky, we never had D1 dreams. When younger, son never dreamed he would be good enough to play in college. As he got to HS it started to sink in that it was possible. He made a decision early on that his education was the first priority then baseball, but playing baseball was a must. While Mother Nature worked on him physically, it became clear that he was going to be able to play post-high school. There were convos with D1 - D3 coaches, but we knew to obtain the education he wanted that matched his desire to play, D3 was the place. Last year as fresh, he had a role out of the arm barn 😜, and was contributing till he lost a quarter of the season to a positive COVID test. He plays on a very good team in very good D3 conference and is getting a great education. The biggest problem I’ve seen during this journey is delusional players/parents not being honest about the players ability and where they fit. Ten of my son’s HS teammates from the four years of HS, went on to play in college, three only, three made it past first fall season. Most were delusional about where they fit.

Sons college coach told him in his first one on one after last fall season that there are some players on the team that just do not work as hard as everyone else, but will play just because they are better than everyone else. Son loved it.
