Heck Jay Hook won games and threw shutouts in mlb and he's considered one of the worst pitchers of all time. People comparing football and basketball to baseball just don't get it. Baseball is not football/basketball, just not and never will be.
So is playing time more important than NIL to baseball players in the portal? Seems like $ #1 along with guaranteed starting spot in football/basketball. College $sports is the Wild, Wild West with very few rules. Saw we are after a WR that we will be his 4th school in 4 years if we get him. Does progress toward a degree even count anymore? The two previous portal classes in football saw less than 50% of portal entrees getting a landing spot. Don't know about baseball or basketball %. Most think they are going Pro and looks as though educational opportunity being lost and given up big time.
