Having 2 sons both playing high school baseball and then summer/select/travel baseball what ever you want to call it. I am beginning to feel that the summer baseball is far better than high school.
For instance, high school baseball has a weaker schedule than the summer baseball. In our case the summer team has better talent on the roster, and plays better competition.
You get more exposure from summer baseball and once you factor in the showcase tourney's , college camps and such, high school baseball takes a back seat. I don't see a lot of benifits to high school baseball other than maybe winning a state tourney?
