Reply to "Standardized Testing in Baseball"

Several years ago I was driving by a P6 (before Big East imploded) field. I knew it was a D1 showcase for the program. They ran them every weekend for three weeks. I stopped to watch. You figure every one of the thirty-six kids thought they were potential D1 prospects.

After a couple of hours I approached one of the kids I knew  already on the team. I told him I only saw four D1 prospects hitting prospects. He laughed. He told me all four were discovered at other showcases and invited free of charge. The rest probably thought they were short changed. They never had a chance. They didn’t have the talent. All the position players had the hands and the arms. What they lacked was a D1 swing.
