Is it fairly normal to have a roster this big and do they recruit kids also visa versa they want them for acedemics as much as baseball?

You need to look at the team rosters for the past few years. You will be able to answer that question yourself. From my experience it is not uncommon to see a 40+ man roster. Equally important is to look at the team statistics for the same years that you look at rosters. You will see a definitive relationship every year.

There is many a school that uses athletics to enhance school recuiting. The number of young men that go to and a graduate from college is decreasing. Strategically there are schools that use athletics to attract qualified male students.
