I don't agree with that, eveyone prepares in different ways. As stated, most freshman don't play major roles at first anyway.

My son (pitcher) played summer before he entered college, I found it to be a waste , he could have benefited from the money spent taking a few summer classes and conditioning.

I think that it is becoming more common and coaches have no problem with it.
