It might be more difficult but would it be possible to do an adaption of this video where players that grew up in other states are counted? (As in the state they graduated high school in) Carson Kelly for example grew up and went yo high school in Oregon and comes back every offseason but wasn’t born there
Might be that KY and MS have poor education systems so young kids wouldn’t have as many chances to succeed at a young age. Those state schools tend to do well in college football or basketball but they don’t always recruit locally
actually its the opposite it would be easier to make the MLB in a state like North Dakota because its less competition bro if you put a varsity baseball player from California and you out him on a highschool varsity team in north dakota he is gonna the best out of most of those guys and will be looked at more than kids in California because they have so much competition as opposed to north dakota
A kid from Cali is more likely to be the best in the state if he moves to ND. But that doesn’t make it more likely that he reaches MLB. It means he’ll be facing less competition and is therefore less likely to improve. He’s also less likely to get a visit from MLB scouts. A state like ND is often ignored whereas CA HS baseball always gets attention. If being the best in your state made it easier to get to MLB then we’d see MLB players from MT, SD, VT, ME, RI, and AK. All states with very small populations and not coincidentally no MLB players
Happy 300th video!
Thanks! Counting all the videos I had to delete it’s probably closer to 400 though
