Reply to "Is travel baseball as we "used" to know it dead in Maryland?"

With all due respect, I don't want to think of this as a problem. I'd like to know why this is happening?

One of my major concerns is the number of high school kids who are suckered into thinking they are going to be able to move on to play college baseball. I hope someone doesn't start citing number of colleges/universities, roster sizes, blah, blah, blah.

I worry too many players and coaches are throwing away the great years you can have as 16, 17 and 18 year olds building commoraderie with a group of guys over the course of a summer trying to win a league championship. All for the sake of being seen by a college scout or coach.

It just makes me sad.
