Adbono and 3 and 2;
During the 17 years of the AC games and tryouts, I initiated many conversations with College Coaches and Pro Scouts. With a Post Grad in Social Psychology, I applied that education to my interviews.
One veteran scout remarked, when I ask "what do you look for in a player"?
Bob, he said "I am projecting this pitcher in the World Series, 9 inning and bases loaded, score tied and 55,000 people at the game".
The same could be applied to a hitter or fielder. How a player reacts under pressure. College Coaches have the opportunity to coordinate with the Assistant Coaches on "evaluation" and observation principles.
As I have previously mentioned watch the player enter the field, watch his eyes, his posture, his interaction with teammates, parents, girl friend. Is the cell phone off?
Coaches will project the player on his team in a JC, Division 1, 2 ,3 or NAIA. tournament.
