We look at major league baseball players and many fans think that the talent alone made them professional baseball players. While talent might be what allowed them to be drafted, it was hard work and diligent player development by the teams that drafted them that allowed that talent to be molded into something that resembled a major league player.
Often times the casual fans do not think about the time and effort that teams and their coaching staffs go to in order to further these kids dreams of playing at the highest levels of the game.
