Say What?!

IS IT BETTER TO BE NOT GET PLAYING TIME ON A D1 COLLEGE BASEBALL TEAM, OR IS IT BETTER TO GET PLAYING TIME ON A D2 OR D3 TEAM ?

Ben asks

my response:




Reality check...it's impossible to see how much talent a position player or pitcher has with him sitting on the bench.
Just FYI-a prospect's motivation and make up is factored in on the scouting report. It carries a little weight, but if you're on the bubble with a (49-50) OFP...that question would possibly DQ you as a NP or a zero. 
However, if you don't want to be drafted or have any interest in playing professional baseball, being a bench player on D1 team might be a better situation for you.


Uncharted territory: in all my years around the game, this is the first time I've heard a question like this. Kudos.
