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.

Kid from our HS (23) committed to a local JUCO. A lot of people were questioning it as they did not see him as a college player. What they didn't know was that he was going as a bullpen catcher. He had some academic $ and wanted to continue being part of a team and get some of his college pre-reqs out of the way. He'll get to travel w/ the team, and from what others in the program say, he is basically a member of the team.

Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
