If a Kid is good enough to play Pro Baseball, he'd have to do a really good job of hiding to keep from being seen by MLB Scouts. Also, a high school kid who is enough of a stud to be a Top 10 Round pick can definitely play Travel Ball for free for multiple quality travel teams. Lack of money is no excuse.

This is 2019. High School is completely & totally irrelevent in terms of being a prospect. Jarred Kelenic got drafted 6th overall, in the 1st Round, in last year's draft. He never played one inning for his high school. He happened to be an excellent student, but I bet if he had poor grades he might've dropped all the way to 12th overall in the 1st Round. Maybe

If a kid isn't good enough to be a pro prospect, no amount of finger pointing and excuse making is gonna change that. Such an attitude might also set a kid up for a life of failure, always thinking "life ain't fair" & it is always somebody else's fault.
