Are you really part of a winning team if you don't contribute to it? I doubt the bullpen catcher and the starting shortstop feel the same way about wins and losses

At a younger level, sitting the bench is terrible and it will drive a kid out of the game - even at the HS level for some.

At the college level? I would think that the kid who only had 40 PA would enjoy wearing that championship ring as much as the kid who started 40 games.

Really at that level, isn't it about team first? As a player, your responsibility is to be so good that it forces them to play you, or, be so good that it forces the other players at your position to be even better than you in order to start over you. Either way, it benefits the team.

Maybe people don't think this way and that is why the transfer portal is full?  It's really not helping anyone. I would assume coaches prefer players who are team first and "me" second.
