Here's a case in point to consider. Four years ago, a Freshman was primarily a catcher on Freshman team. Had a 2.0 pop time, strong arm. Hardly ever played on the freshman team and was more talented that a lot on the team. Sophomore year on JV - played some with maturity and even got to pitch a little. Junior year on varsity - Became a PO, even though he could pop a sub 2. Pitched 4 no hitters, FB reached 90-92. All district and more. Committed to college on scholarship. Senior year is this year. Starting the rotation. Stud. He never got frustrated as a Freshman, even though he was highly shortchanged.
