The reality is that coaches are not willing to gamble with their baseball money if grades are in question. With adding the new NCAA rule that will rate & penalize schools by their graduation rates, offers of baseball scholarship $'s will become much more rare. Having good grades really opens up your recruiting opportunities.
So parents, IMO, remember to take a look at the whole picture and consider spending some of those baseball lesson $'s on academic tutors as well to give your player his best chance at playing at the next level come senior year.
