Notice, the high heat is the number one strike out pitch in amateur baseball. It's not in the pros because you don't last in the pros if you can't lay off the high heat. Pro pitchers will eat you alive.

it isn't in the pros b/c anyone who throws consistently high is out of the league in a year

They also are clearly not teaching bunting, another fundamental skill. So, you end up with very talented athletes who are still playing like amateurs. They are skilled enough to hit well against college pitchers who will never see the pros, but when they face a good pitcher, their fundamental deficiencies are exposed. That happened when they faced Stanek, Gray and both pitchers in the CWS.
