My concerns are not with the rising Jr's rising Sr's who have shown that they are advanced at the game and are ready to be "showcased" to college coaches. My concerns are with these rising freshman Sophs who have not played a game of varsity baseball and are traveling across the country playing in tourneys every weekend. Some playing on teams that never practice , work out , or teach the game. Just roll out the bats and balls and play ball.
I think for many they think if they get out there early they will get a jump on the rest. The fact is they are falling behind the ones that are working to get better and actually learning the game. But that might not be the case in every situation on every team. Its just a concern I have for the younger players. I always thought showcase was for players that had proven they were ready to be showcased.
Good discussion.
