If the school has a fully funded baseball program and awards 11.7 in scholarships, has a full 35 on the spring roster, and carries 40+ in the fall, then I would check it out more thoroughly. You may be signing up to fight it out with numerous other walk-ons for the non-scholarship roster spots.
If the school is not fully funded, and does not award 11.7, doesn't carry 35 on the spring roster, and doesn't have 40+ in the fall, then it might be common practice at that school.
