BOF makes a strong point regarding playing time.  These schools routinely have 25-27 rostered players with 4 pitchers and 8 position players getting the majority of the playing time.  If your kid makes it on the field that's great, otherwise it's a complete waste of time.

Also, I think it's a mistake to believe that these high schools "produce" good ball players.  Talk to the players or their parents - they'll tell you how much time they spend on bunt defense and pickoffs (i.e., the things you need to do well to win HS baseball games), and how little time they spend on hitting and fielding reps (i.e., the things you need to do to become a better player).
