I figure ours will be close, 11 games so far I count 16 E's but I did not score a couple of games so probably close to 20, project to about 35 in a 20 game season, almost all on routine groundballs by the way, usually the throw. Why is he there you will want to know? Daddy coach, also A.D. Kind of humorous in a sick way, my kid just mentally uses high school ball as practice for legion to make it through. Nothing anyone can do or say so we just support the kids individually, team? what team. Winning is out the window. I am sure many of you have similar stories, perhaps a suggestion? Everyone is afraid of the dude's power, worse for your own kid if you say anything, I've been there. tried the school superintendant a couple of years ago, waste of time. School transfer rules suck in this state. By the way there are 3 guys who would be better shortstops on the team, so there are options for a coach who cared.

smalltown,
are you in kansas?...cause your situation sounds alot like what is happening on our hs team...3 rd baseman...coaches son...all fielding attempts this season have been errors...bats in the number 5 spot ahead of 2 young men with higher averages and on base percentages...what worries me is that will this coach be able to nominate other players for all league or all state honors ahead of his son?..i kinda doubt it...and what about when the colleges come calling...will he be positve about other players?...one can only hope!
the assistant coach at my school, married one of my friends moms (hes on the baseball team), and so hes been on varsity starting since his freshman year. However, this is contrary to what you guys are experienceing. He is a flat out studly ballplayer. He could throw a frozen rope from center to homeplate with a single crow hop from a standstill. his arm has gotten even stronger and more accurate since last year. Unfortunately, he hasn't recognized his calling as an outfielder. hes pretty darn fast too, but now he catches and play ss. I just hope he doesn't get killed playing football, because he has the potential to be a pro. Maybe not majors, but definintely could play minors if he keeps at it like he is right now. We thought he was just on varsity because the coach is his stepdad, but thats before we knew how good he was.
My son plays ss on our varsity team he's a soph he beat the coachs son out and he's a senior and plays a good solid 3rd base. We have played 15 games and he has made 7 errors that resulted in 3 run scored all on the same stud pitcher. He has made some really beautiful plays and routinely knocks down balls going up the middle. I personally think 7 errors is a lot, what would be an acceptable amount just curious?
