I hear what you are saying and it makes sense and I know exactly what you are talking about. I know several former baseball players that are "financial advisors" and I use that term loosely. I just know how closely schools like A&M and Notre Dame stick up for their alums (I was offered a full-time job after just interviewing at Notre Dame). It definitely changes the conversation if you're all in though.

And thank you regarding my son. He's still young but is posting some crazy EV numbers. We're just fortunate to be nearby a prominent training facility here in TX which allows him to train with some very elite coaches and players. It gives me a chance to see what it's like on the other side of the equation and it makes you realize just how fortunate you have to be to make it the Show.

Yeah it really is like an extremely hard feat to accomplish. And I would even venture out and say (as politically correctly I can) that making the show nowadays is even more rare than in the past. The money and investments that teams are putting into their international player development divisions is insane. And it shows. An American kid can’t even fathom, much less compete with; the training and development these Dominican and Spanish kids receive. Remember a couple years ago that highly touted pitcher (can’t remember his name) that signed with the A’s; and he had never even thrown a pitch in a live ball game before…. The have schools dedicated to and non stop training for these potential prospects with the sole purpose of getting them to the show.. they don’t even play games they just train and train and train. It’s insane. If MLB keeps trending in the direction it is now; in a few years, we might possibly see a predominantly Hispanic MLB…
