Speaking of K's:

Kid on my son's team hitting .458, OBP .506, SLG .542, OPS 1.048.  Leading league or among leaders in most offensive categories going up against lots of future D1 players.  But has 9K in 72AB.   Would you think that's an anomaly or bad sign?

That's not too bad, especially with that kind of production. To assess it more accurately, you'd have to look more closely -- is it against the future D1 guys that he is striking out frequently?  For example, if 20 of those 72 ABs were against future D1 pitchers, and he had struck out in 9 of those 20 at-bats, that might be a little worrisome for future projectability.

Also he doesn't hit for a heckuva lot of power -- looks to be about 27 singles, 6 doubles -- so he needs high contact skills .  . .
