HS baseball helps teach some things for college baseball that you don't get in summer ball:

- Carrying the helmet bag as a rookie
- The Math teacher knows how to get hold of coach to tell him you currently stink in math and you better buckle down.
- If you get caught breaking some rules in school or at the dance, chances are the coach will find out and it'll cost you some playing time or running time
- That the rookie over in the corner needs a lift once in a while (both a car ride and an attaboy lift)
- That you better not tick off the Senior who can bench twice your weight.
- That the umpire is not just a guy you will see at this weekends big tournament - he'll remember you all 4 years at school if you show him up too bad.

And many more.
