It’s tough everywhere, for every class. Talent is jam packed everywhere. Cry me a river, 2022’s. A lot of the 2018’s and 2017’s missed out on 2 years of College Baseball, and have to either go back for a 5th or 6th year or get on with their life. The 2017-2020 classes all missed out on 1 year of their college career plus had at least a less than normal season this past spring.
if you are going into this with a “life isn’t fair” attitude, then you aren’t cut out for College Baseball. The kids that don’t work hard enough sit the bench for 4 years anyways, or get cut, in every class. In some ways this just does those type of kids a favor, as it cuts out the daydreamers & let’s them get on with their non-Baseball life, and leaves room only for those smart enough to go where they are loved and tough enough to grind every single day.
