I will add this too, alot of players that have great sucess t every level, have one thing in common. Baseball is part of their identity, it is as much a part of who they are as it is what they do.

Very true statement there. The kids that do well in High School and College are the ones that have a love for the game. It takes a lot of dedication to become proficient in anything and just being a natural athlete will only get you so far.
It is like anything. The ones that really excell at something do what they do because they love it. Any kid can play baseball but very few really strive to become baseball players. Passion is the key. There is no problem with a kid enjoying playing the game but not living for it. Not all kids should but I thank God that my son does have that passion. I hope he doesn't lose it.
