Well, there’s certainly no doubt that the quality of the numbers for HS ball isn’t nearly up to the quality of the ML, MiL, or college in general, but its definitely much better than the levels below it, just like the quality of the coaches, the players, the umpires, and the general knowledge of the fans at the games. Bu be that as it may, it doesn’t meant there’s nothing to be learned from the numbers, anymore than it means the coaches at every level have nothing to offer, the players at every level have no abilities, the umpires at every level can’t call a good game, or the fans at every level can’t enjoy watching a ball game.

The trick isn’t to believe everything about any level below the ML is no good for anything, the trick is to take into account that there are deficiencies and to judge things accordingly.
