You used to hear about California producing so much talent because they played year round. Even in the South, kids would only play on their local little league team for a few months. Youth ball, travel ball, and even high school baseball is much bigger in ACC and SEC country than in was in the 80’s.

A lot of good answers in this thread, but this is the one that nailed it. Travel baseball has exploded in the South. It was popular in Cali long before anywhere else.
