Could be a blessing in disguise. It is college baseball after all, never known what could happen.

Spurs are in trouble. Shot 50% and made 11 threes and only up 7.

For players coming out of the US I'd love to see an example of a non-travel player in the past 5-10 years.

See this is the issue with most of the people in these kind of threads. They literally have no concept of how good you have to be to play college baseball.

I would encourage turning on espn+ and watching the juco world series which is winding down this week. Multiple guys on each team pumping 95+ along with guys that can REALLY hit. And thats all 18-20 year olds, not even upper classmen.

That is maybe 5% of players. The other 95% do not do that. My example was really just illustrating that you don't have to play all year to make it to a high level. And most don't, maybe 2-3 fall tournaments and thats it.

I can’t imagine playing baseball 12 months a year as a 10 year old. It just sounds horrible. I liked video games, sleep overs, riding bikes, football…. But now these parents have their kids in baseball or softball all year around and it sounds miserable for everyone.

You don't have to imagine it cause that's all made up crap to drive twitter engagement.

My son played "travel" ball, we rarely played more than an hour from home.Crazy enough he still played video games, had sleep overs, rode bikes, played football and everything else you can think of.

He also never played fall baseball at all, first fall baseball he's ever played was his first year in college. I can tell you though he had zero chance of even making his HS team through rec ball.

I also have a younger son who is 11 who plays rec ball. He likes baseball and has fun with it but he is not competitive in the same way his brother is. So we aren't pushing him into travel ball because ultimately I just want him to have fun and enjoy the game. He also has little chance of playing on his HS team unless he gets a little more serious about it in the next 2-3 years. Its just the reality of it. If he wants to do it, cool and if not thats okay too.
