IMHO you're basing your opinion on elite D1 programs but I also believe there are club players in this Country who could compete at those schools. I'll be willing to bet that every Nationally ranked club team has a couple players that could play baseball on a D1 scholarship somewhere. Some athletes choose to follow the academic path with club baseball as a sidelight instead of burning both ends of the candle with an NCAA program. It might be academic, it might be geographic, or whatever, but, there are clubbers out there who are more than worthy to play D1 baseball in this Country. JMO
