who deserves to get a scholarship, from a parent's point of view? Most of the times they took stats (Ave, wins, etc) to compare the players, and not natural talent (Speed, arm, power, etc). In reality, any HS coach will recommend a player that he believe will succes at college level for 4 years. A lot of kids that are good enough at HS level, can not play just one inning of college's ball, just because they don't have the potential to jump to the next level. So this is a little more complicated. A better HS career doesn't mint the best choice for college or pro.
