Some players (late blossom) are not ready to reach all their potential ( mentally, physically, hitting maturation, ect), on time to get the D-1 scholarship, or to get drafted after they finished HS. How many of this late blossom players were lost in the memory of recruters and scouts that didn't follow them at lower levels schools or adult leagues, because they were already marked as no enough talented players?. How many of those players could turned in great players if they reicived a second opportunity before frustration convert them in victims of unadaptation?.
Maybe the same amount of players that were superstars at HS or College and after drafted on the first 5 rounds, die in the lower levels of pro baseball without reach the ultimate potential that was so high pre-paid for MLB.
