Reply to "Baseball shape - two sport athlete."

My 2013 went to the Duke fall camp. First he was being looked at with the previous coaching staff. After making contact with Coach Pollard he asked for video and transcript. His travel team coach who is from North Carolina called Pollard to see if he was looking for pitchers. He told him yes but he needed to see him. Coach Hayes called to make sure he was coming. So he went to the camp and pitched great. 90mph fastball great slider and changeup. Pollard was more involved with running the camp than watching. Heard nothing from Duke for two weeks. my son emailed and no response. I finally got a hold of Coach Jordan and asked what was going on and said we have not had a reply. Said he would tell the other coaches. Never heard anything. Now we see he had been recruiting and signed five pitchers. The reality of camps are they are fundraisers.. If they aren't talking turkey it's not serious. Most of these invites are from a mailing list you get on after a showcase.

Good luck, Sparky 134

2013 plays football too. He has received several personal invites to Fall College camps. Obvously the stakes are higher this fall. I believe he has not met some of these coaches. They have sought him out through word of mouth I assume...but have not seen him play. He has followed up with his video. I think the expectation at these fall camps is that every kid is in basebal shape.

Although 2013 does take swings and infield when he can on weekends he has not seen live pitching since late summer. His swing still looks fine (tees and front toss) but I am concerned that his timing may be off. I would think he will be fine after a day or two or seeing pitching...if he had time before a camp. Not sure how to get him into preseason shape quickly.

Has anybody dealt with this situation and can offer any quidance.

As always - Thanks
