WHERE'S THE COACHES THAT Love THE Boys that have tremendous work ethic?

From what I've witnessed, working hard is the minimum requirement to have an opportunity to participate after HS. Maybe there are programs where this is not the case, but from what I've seen in juco, d1 and pro ball - you bust ass, or you're done (projectable or not).

I'm not saying all pitchers don't have work ethic.

I'm assuming we're talking HS here, because most ballplayers that are successful when the game becomes a job (in college and beyond) take the work seriously. It's a tough game, you've got the work hard, adapt and overcome failure, have some gifted talent and you need to be lucky - because timing has a lot to do with opportunity.
