There’s a few kids I used to coach who ended up at a D3 (and are doing very well in D3 too) who absolutely still insist that they are “D1 guys” even though they never got a D1 offer despite spending thousands on PBR and PG events. It’s a common phenomenon these days of players and parents not seeing things the way that Baseball coaches and longtime Baseball people/insiders do.
I think it saves me a big degree of angst or whatever it is, simply embracing reality, but that’s just me…my kid laced a Double against a D1 pitcher throwing 92 last week, that doesn’t make him a D1 guy or “just as talented as a D1 guy”.

You are right. In Legion and college summer ball I owned a pitcher who spent six years in the majors. I hit over .400 against him. It didn’t make me a major league hitter. It made me a hitter who had figured out an excellent pitcher.
