Virginia having 5 is sad because this isn't a baseball state, especially at the high school level

I’d disagree with this statement. There are some very good ball players that have come out of the state. David Wright, Verlander, Zimmerman, the Uptons, The high schools in Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads and the Richmond area have some strong teams with a good youth feeder system.

With the exception of UVA who can recruit nationally, most teams have 50-60% of their roster from VA and then they recruit NJ and Pennsylvania well.
