...It would be nice to have great pitching coaches and great hitting coaches all over the country, but it won't make much of a difference...

Disagree. The number of "close but" players who don't make it now, could make it with a solid "upbringing". How many of them are there?

Why do they have to spend that kind of money on showcases, tournaments etc? Because the system is set up for coaches to win trophies and say "look what I've done". Put all the best on one team so we can win. Now, lets travel all over the country for tournaments. Player development is of no interest to 95% of them. "Pick em clean quick". They use you until they have a better replacement. Then they kick you to the curb. Let's win win win.

"Coaches" don't teach. They are trophy happy.
