Incorrect fundamentals seem to be much less common now than 20 years ago (at least around here), partly due to more amateur umpires getting professional training and sharing it with their associations.
At least one of the pro schools will accept students right out of high school but encourages them to attend college first. The reality is that nearly all pro school graduates will need to find non-baseball employment, and they'll be disadvantaged by lack of a degree.
