My son is the same although more a DIII level

We visited one university baseball coach. After that visit after finding out it is a 365, 24/7 grind my son was not really that interested in collegiate athletics. Frankly I'm glad the coach didn't blow smoke at him.

So, not "worth" it to you. But worth it to someone else. Bye. **
