So here in my state there is HUGE differences in the largest school divisions and the smallest. (that's why they need to exist)
Speaking to just D1 here in my state it can be a wide variety of team make-up that can make it to state. There are teams with solid overall makeup in most all of the positions (even in a case where none of them play more than local TB-C level) and can have a pitcher that maybe can just make it to a D3 college and they can make it to state.
Then in total contrast a true D1 college pitcher-led "not-good-talent" HS team, with a good enough bunt defense, can get to state too.
In my first example there is a HS around me that has such a solid coaching staff, and development program in their part of the community that all they need is a pitcher to throw outside strikes and they go to state every year. It's a great HS empire. (But would this team compete in national TB-A level - no chance in he11....)
