Yes RC's/scouts can tell balls /strikes. The thing is interest in the kid is because of how far he hits the ball. Fact is there are many players with higher batting averages, but I would guess not to many able to send a ball 450'. Between pitchers pitching around him and some very generous strike zones it can be a challenge to put the ball in play.
The kid has his ticket punched college wise. I'm assuming the MLB will still exist in 3-4 years. The pitchers throwing around him, and the umpires with very liberal zones enabling them, becomes very frustrating none the less.

If you trust and understand the process and College coaches and Scouts doing their job I don't understand the frustration
