i think most kids that have 2 really good tools will find a spot at a decent college program, a JUCO at worst. Even at a school like LSU, you can go over the rosters the last 15 years or so, they have had a good bit of successful players that werent prototypical "elite prospects".

I've heard teams are looking for more athletic guys since Omaha is dead. No need for the huge catcher/1B because he's an out with the bats/parks.

I have known pitchers who suck but can throw 95 mph get D1 scholarships and suck just as much at a D1 school, and other players who bat near .500 and struck out like 2 times their entire senior year and never makes errors in the field but don't have a lot of power or speed and they only get offers from DIII schools. And he goes on to hit .450 and strikes out only 3 times per year at the DIII level and certainly could have hit very well at the D1 level. But that guy never gets looks.
perfect example is Raph Rhymes for LSU. he wasn't that athletic and didn't have good measureables at the plate. Couldn't even walk-on at LSU out of high school. Went to JUCO, was 2010 National JUCO POY, made the LSU team prior to the 2011 season, and ended up leading the country in 2012, batting .431

Not saying your wrong in saying this guy could have done well at a DI school but the thing about the lower levels (DII DIII) is the that typically the guys that are really good hitters are really at best decent at the plate because in DIII (can't give athletic scholarships) the pitching is far behind usually the average DIII guy will throw between 78-84 obvious exceptions to guys who were later bloomers or threw decently hard but didn't have any good stuff. Pitching you see in DIII is about equivalent if not worse than what you see in high school.
