Reply to "Preferred Walk On--Guaranteed Roster Spot"

I asked FSU because I know of quite a few catchers who walked on, but all they did was catch bullpens. I believe its a practice most big schools do in FL.

Redshirting is costing the team nothing, your son may think he is cheating, getting extra years, but if he never plays regularly, he will not get those extra years.

Hope your son has a good bat and can play multiple positions, that is the only way most walk on position guys can survive in the ACC. And make sure he has a place to play this summer, because next year he will have to compete and prove himself against a whole new class of players.

IMO, it DOES matter where you go, if you want to play baseball while you are there.

Anyone who says other wise is just fooling themselves.
