And yes, the list did change from game to game, coach would leave a team voicemail that you checked to see if you were travelling or not.
Hadn't thought about all the volunteer labor it brings to programs. I suppose these roster sizes will shrink as the movement for players to be paid and unionize continues to grow.The roster doesn't "need" to be that large, but having those players definitely helps:
Practice - you always have runners, players to fill out numbers for drills, set up / tear down, catch bullpens, shag, have enough for same squad scrimmages, etc.
Home games - there's a bunch of things to get done at home games, and players (at least in my day) dragged the field, helped line, prepared bullpens, tamped and tarped, did hose crew, set up and put away the turtle.

MEGA ROSTERS...or hoarding players?
Apparently Mega rosters aren't really needed
Because
Not only are there an entire team of bench players at all games,
But on away games
There is a list of players that don't get to go.
Yep the non-traveling list exists!
Soooo there are
1. The Starters
2. Team Bench
3. Mehhh you aint going to these games and we're posting that you're not.
Hmmm? sorta like finding out weekly if you're actually on the team or not.
IF there is an entire team on the bench who does get to travel...
WHY does a roster need to be so large that it leaves players behind?
DD's former college (D3)teammate is taking her 5th year at a D1 school for her graduate degree. They played Tennessee, Texas, Michigan State, Arkansas, Wichita State. Imagine going from pitching to D3 batters to P5 batters in less than a year!A girl my DD played with and against was in Oklahoma the weekend their new stadium opened. She's only a bullpen catcher atm, but it's neat she was at the new stadium as a player the first weekend it was open.
When I played DIII football we won the National Championship in 1994, and a booster paid for our rings my senior year. The other 3 years, we got conference championship rings/NCAA playoff rings and had to pay for them ourselves.Do any DIII teams pay for Championship rings for their players? Ours doesn't.
Was there an injury or do you mean she didn't know how to throw overhand?DD's freshman year they had 17 on the roster. 2 were academically ineligible, 1 player could not throw overhand (bullpen catcher). 10 available position players the rest were pitchers. DD was glad covid happened. There would have been no way to finish out the season. Oh and one player died of brain cancer who was supposed to be on the roster as another pitcher.
That season really made me truly understand why you need to have at least 25 on the roster. Injuries, sickness, etc will happen!
