Reply to "Biggest Change from HS to College as a Pitcher"

Son was FB CB guy and handled most teams faced during HS. Junior year 84-86/88 to Senior year 90-93/95 guy with plus CB.

Started 6 games as Freshman at Clemson coming off a fall where he dominated lives and scrimmages and there were some injuries in the rotation, he went 3 and 2. Dominated non division games and struggled in two ACC games, Ga Tech and Fla State. Surgery for broken bone in hand (pithed with it that season) that following summer and moved to BP in 2017 and 18 and flourished there. Big change for him, acclimating to that was up to him and it wasn't easy. Get hot was the call....how you do that and transition into  the game successfully isn't easy and there is NO handbook or coach who can help you with it.

I saw this while he was there, good to very good pitcher who could not perform when given the chance were moved to the back of the list, pitchers with more experience (upper classmen) were given more chances, even when they struggled. Winning is what its about, get ready for more competition  every season and you better perform or you may find yourself missing the bus rides to away games.
