Apparently, some colleges don't even see a kid before offering him a scholarship to play at their school. It is not always how well you play but who you know. Kids can be offered these scholarships from being seen at indoor workouts by "knowledegeable baseball people", who recommend them to the college coaches and are signed sight unseen. Unbelievable, but it happened! Of course, these kids look like ballplayers. Don't get me wrong, these guys probably can get by playing at the college level, but probably are not as deserving as others. I thought this stuff ended in HS and LL.
