As far as the Why question a few of you have asked...I think the truth is because there are not choices. How many programs line it up, make it mandatory and the kid has virtually no ability to say no. Give the wrong response and your college career is over, show up and go thru the motions you still have life.

Chasing summer ball for the pipe dream of being couple year MiLB player and the appeasement of a coach is short term thinking and negative EV...IMO and it seems that kids are figuring it out before the coaches, parents and management.

The times are changing and baseball better figure it out or they are going to have bigger problems.
