Reply to "RHP was recruited to play in college - without playing travel. It's possible."

Congrats,

Not trying to take away from your post but, as mentioned, travel ball is significantly more important for bats than arms. If you want to play competitive college baseball (D1, top half of D2, top 1/3 of D3, or high level juco) you need to prove you can hit quality pitching. Unless you play HS ball in an area like Tx, Ga, or SoCal there really isn't any way to know if you're a good hitter or if you're good at hitting bad pitching. Until you prove you can 85+ on a regular basis there is no way to know.

I saw travel more as a means to play better competition than it did for recruiting. Had mine not played the travel schedule he did I think he would have had a significantly harder time transitioning to P5 ball. He's a pitcher
