Only thing to add from son’s experience is that guys who have college experience get time and others with potential get opportunities. Unless you have special stuff, you better capitalize on the opps, stay ahead in the classroom, stay healthy and stay outta trouble. So many guys get knicked up and it costs them time. A loss Agree with Fenway that parents over estimate their kid’s potential and coaches will defer to older players who have proven themselves. Make your hay in the fall or else. Coaches have to win in the spring.
College baseball is hard and from what I’ve seen staying healthy could be the hardest thing to do. My son got more opps as a freshman because others were hurt.
