Agree with most all of the above... I'll add for perspective. There are tons of Calif. JC players who go on to play at NAIA's all over the country and most do well. As Adbono says, success at competitive JC level is very much a proving ground and training grounds for playing at a 4 yr somewhere afterward. Many NAIA programs are a bit of a catch basin for those successful JC players who don't latch on at D1 or D2 schools for any number of reasons. Those moderate to stronger NAIA baseball programs are typically roster-heavy with JC transfers.
