Reply to "How Important Is The Pipeline To The Varsity Team?"

A look at my sons HS history on MaxPreps has data for frosh teams back to 2011. Worst frosh team from then until now lost 10 games in a 28-game season. That team had players make varsity, but none were impact players or even played much. None went on to college ball. Three sophomores played “up” on Varsity that season and were major contributors. Of those, 1 went on to play NAIA, 1 played D1, one was drafted 1st rd out of HS. Studs don’t play freshman baseball.

“Usually”...sometimes they do and develop into starting P5 shortstops their freshman year as happened 2 seasons later at his school.
