And market will tell you where they belong coming out of JuCo as well. Got to love the grind to do two years of JuCo...
The JuCo grind will do more good for HS grads than being buried at the end of the bench for 2 years at a 4 year school. In so many ways. The harsh reality is that hardly any freshmen are emotionally ready for the demands of D1, D2, and NAIA programs. D3 is the exception as it’s way more player friendly. In warm weather states, where JuCo baseball is really good, it boggles my mind that it’s still looked at as a last resort by the uneducated masses. On many occasions at HS games I have had HS coaches (of not great teams) try to promote their senior backup players as JuCo prospects. When this occurs it’s inevitable after watching a few innings that I recognize that the starters ahead of these guys aren’t even good enough to play for us. I know it varies by location but if you live in Texas, Florida, California, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arizona and aren’t looking at JuCo options you are making a mistake.
