My son was lucky to run into a scout that is now director of scouting for an MLB team. He told him, it doesn't matter where you go, if you're good we'll find you. He worked out in the offseason with him, and the guy helped him pick schools, so it wasn't an off the cuff comment.

Not entirely related to this thread, but I hear this comment a lot, and it is 100% always coming from a scout. It may be true, but it sounds a bit self-serving and self-congratulatory, as if to say "we are so good at our jobs that we never miss". I'm just not sure the data back this up, and there wouldn't be such a battle to play D1 and P5 baseball if you would truly be found no matter where you played.
