We give college baseball programs WAY too much credit for developing players. And probably way too much blame when players don’t develop. Here’s a thought. Every program in the country is great at player development if you’re willing to put in the work. And every program in the country is terrible at it if you’re not. Coaches can provide the plan, tools, resources, and direction. But the actual development happens when the player takes ownership of the process and consistently executes. At some point, we have to stop asking which programs develop players and start asking which players are committed to developing themselves.
