There's another carrot for all you 2020 - 2022's (and parents of..)
It's real and it works!
Thanks! That was actually going to be my next question.
As the Dad of a 2021 who is starting HS in literally a few weeks, the GPA is the big one to me. Start out your high school Baseball career hitting .185 as a freshman with poor measureables and all of that can improved on tremendously. If you throw 90+ or run a 6.5 sixty as a Junior or Senior nobody is going to ask how your freshman season of Baseball went... start out your Freshman year with a 2.5 GPA or worse and you have severely limited your future options
