And to Pitchingfan’s point, my entire diatribe was for pitchers ONLY. My son is extremely athletic and was a good hitter in HS, just not a great one. From what I have seen, I think I would push my position player toward college. But, I never faced that road so I cannot speak with authority about that. I can assure you I am not a lone wolf on this. Most just cannot or will not speak out because of the small world baseball is. My son is at a place where my comments cannot really hurt of jeopardize him now. I will say this once again and for the LAST time. I am not against college ball in ANY WAY. I still love LSU baseball and follow them and keep up with all the guys. This year will be the last that any of the guys that played with my son will be there, but I will always have a place in my heart for LSU baseball.
