You can like it or not like it, but the game is the game. And measureables are a huge part of the game. Your opinion doesn't change that, and the game will continue just fine without you. Run 7.0, throw 85+ across the infield, have a 95+ exit Velo, and you will get attention from D1 coaches. That is just the straight reality of the situation.
Gee, that sure is a good looking shiny new car! I wonder if it has an engine it it ?!?
Many on this board who have been successful at getting their kids recruited have repeatedly told you that being a really good ball player is what got their kid recruited. Not measurables. The straight reality (as you put it) is this : really good players usually have good measurables AS A RESULT OF BEING A GOOD PLAYER. They didn’t become a good player by focusing on measurables. I talk to college coaches every week. They don’t ask about measurables (other than fastball velo). They all talk about seeing players with their own eyes. But you can believe whatever you want. You can lead a horse to water ......
