Francis7,
Frankly, I think it is a very fair question and I'm kind of surprised with the responses you've received and the lack of responses from those that have gone through it. There are a lot of people that have gone through it on this website for some reason they haven't shared their experience. I absolutely agree with Catching22 that some of this is outside the players control and there is nothing you can do about it. The best that you can do is research the heck out of a program, coaches, players and their situation. The best that you can hope for is the HC is fair with playing time and the position coach is going to develop and teach your son skills that he needs to earn that playing time. Sorry, my son was not among the transfers. My son's solution was simple, if he didn't like the coaches or baseball became a hassle, he would stop playing college baseball and focus on his major. He told us this when he was accepted.
