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

All this talk about calling one's own pitches..... I remember reading Ted Williams saying Pitchers are the dumbest guys on the field, because they don't change anything and are way too predictable.... I took extreme offense to that and the retort to myself while reading that was, No, catchers and coaches are.

I have had a few conversations with my son, that If he's not charting hitters in league play while he's not playing, he's not helping himself and Freshman year, he should have plenty of time to do that.

That said, his observations of biggest changes HS to College... way better coaches and more serious teammates.
