Okay, heres the situation.
All of my high school life, I've been training to go to university as a pitcher, and that is what I was prepared to do. Recently, I attended a major league scouting bureau camp, and have had the scout mention to me that if I wanted to persure a career in baseball after college/university, it would be with my bat and not my arm.
Now, that was a bit of a shock to hear, but playing baseball (and continuing to play baseball) are what matters, so I realize that I'll have to go with what my best abilities are.
My question is that, I've been recruited to play at a smaller JuCo closer to home (DII), and recently, one of my coaches has also made contact with a JuCo in Iowa, which is also a DII.
Since this will be mainly the first time in my career focusing on being an entirely a hitter, what should I be looking for in these situations. Should I go to the JuCo which is closer to home, and in honesty will probably give me a lot more reps and AB's. Or should I go to a school that even though is in the same division, will probably have much stiffer competition, and with myself being a "raw" player, might not see time right away.
Basically, the question is the level of talent being played at, or is it the reps and AB's that I should be looking for to develop.
Thanks, any insight would be appriciated.
