Its,
Tend to agree. You have to take the wood bats out of the equation for the D1 teams to be competitive with the short season A teams.

One of our local kids did quite well in D1 ball then hit about .125 in the Cape Cod League. Must have been lack of reps though because he was drafted after his senior season and hit .280 or .300ish in short season A, only a bit less than he hit in college with aluminum.

I've seen a fair amount of A games over the last couple years and while they're clearly better at that level than D1 teams there are enough kids out of HS still trying to catch up on the A teams that the D1s wouldn't be completely blown out if the wood bats were taken out of it.

They don't always play the players with the best stats in the minors. They often play a player with more talent who is struggling to learn because they feel that player has more long term potential.
