Unfortunately kids an parents don't do the research about teams an rosters. Kids go to schools with blinders on thinking because their in the roster their playing. Baseball is business, coaches are always looking for upgrades at "every position". Last season my son transferred from JUCO to D-1 school. There were six other JUCO's that came in. The team won their conference for the first time in school history and made to super regional. This year six more new JUCO's coming. Parents and players that have been there "paying their dues" are upset an still riding the bench. For those reason kids transfer to other schools or stop playing ball altogether.
My advice to parents an players is go to a school were are going to play, not projected to play in a year or two, because you never know who going to show up in the fall. Example: Last season senior catcher graduated, returning are a junior and sophomore who thinking they are going to compete for the starting position, little do they know about a catcher from PR coming in three weeks to be starting catcher this year.
