I think you have to remember that most of the guys who play Big 10 baseball probably play outside maybe 8 months out of the year if lucky while down South you get him probably played baseball, or at least practice, outside for at least 10 months. Also, it is my belief that almost any player who lives up here who has major-league ambitions will go down south to play college ball.
We have a very nice stadium here at Ohio State but it really hasn't done much for us in terms of recruiting big-time players like the kid Dietrich who was mentioned above.
