"I'm speaking for pretty much everybody in my recruiting class who went through that insane program, it's a total waste of time. We grinded for months at a time practicing for 6-7 hours a day at a point, and for what? Just for 2/3 of the class to get let go at the end of the season. If you're a redshirt good luck, you need to find a remote-hitting coach because the only help they're going to give you is making you tougher because of all of the ridiculous conditioning, workouts, and other stupid things you have to do for the team. And man, I have not seen so many pitchers deal with arm issues and dips in their velocity. In my experience as a pitcher, the only person who even bothered to help me with my mechanics or pitches was my OEAMMATE. Everything I did to try and better myself would result in it being used as ammunition for the coaches to chirp me. I wasn't allowed to throw with decent baseballs because "I did not pitch good enough in the fall" so I was stuck throwing with old cage baseballs. Another experience I had was the first day of weights when I got threatened to get cut just because I was not as physically developed as other players there. This program kills the love of baseball for everybody there. and honestly after transferring it put into perspective how big of a disaster this program is, I finally play for a team that cares about me and wants the best out of me which was a major adjustment."
