@Around_The_Horn posted:Thanks for sharing. This is exactly my sentiment. Is this a normal state in high school baseball? I look back now before the season started to conversation I had with more veteran parents and I’m like, “oh that is what they were talking about!!”.
What happens in high school baseball depends on whether the coach is a baby sitter who isn’t going to lose his job or expected to maintain a winning program.
When our high school had the former there were seventeen losing seasons in twenty years with the same coach. Only juniors and seniors made varsity.
A new AD fired him. The new coach was expected to win. Talent played regardless of class year.
The team went from a country club atmosphere to coming out of the locker room or off the bus like a well oiled military unit.
