It does not help that middle school Lax is no cut. While baseball still is. Many parents see the scholarships and put their kids in lax instead of baseball. Once cuts happen in HS some try and come back to baseball, but they have not swung a bat or threw a baseball since the sixth grade.

Not sure what you meant by the scholarship comment, but lacrosse has 12.6 scholarships and a roster of 45, so probably no better than baseball as far as getting a scholarship.
