I’m too young to have ever seen either play but the obvious issue with this theory is that There are still wooden bats and better pitching now but guys like Bregman and the Nola Bros, even as far back as DJ Lamehieu (sp?) made it.

Why couldn’t a guy that hit 30 bombs a year and hit almost .400 have any semblance of a pro career? Was the talent in college baseball really that bad back then?
