Is recruiting missing out?

I don’t think so, at least not in my region. The high level players who don’t understand the recruiting landscape probably do miss out on some opportunities, but most of them still end up playing somewhere if they really want to.

I’ve had the same thoughts when watching high school games. "That kid could play DI." But when you’re realistic about it, you see why the odds are against it. The kid can’t survive academically, or he’s got discipline problems, or he’s missing a tool, or he just doesn’t want baseball as a full-time job in college. And unlike football or basketball, there are very few full scholarships. Some families can’t, or chose not to spend/borrow $10K/year or more for college. I think many JUCOs do a nice job of finding these kids. That can be a great route for kids who might not have the academics or the financial support to play at a university.
