@atlnon posted:Given my son's situation, I'm wondering what is the chance he will get any playing time as a freshman 3rd string catcher behind 2 senior catchers... I'm expecting 0 but hoping he gets to play some (he's alright burning a red shirt year as I explained in another thread).
At my son's old school, they had 2 junior catchers and one freshman catcher. Just 3 catchers on the roster. The freshman got 5 at bats all year. The juniors basically split the playing time. Worse, the freshman caught so many bullpens that he tore his meniscus and was catching bullpens sitting on a stool towards the end of the season. He hit the transfer portal after the end of the semester. It's really terrible what some programs do to these kids.
