You are not paying attention to what was stated. He said, and I agree, that as the player gets older their strengths become more apparent. Just because the player is throwing 80 doesnt mean that he may be suited to be a pitcher. Unfortunetly sooner or later someone will tell you that in order to move forward you have to accept another position. I know because it happened to son. It happens to many many players. I think that justbaseball player pointed that out a while back in his topic.
Why do parents that have players who haven't made it to the larger field worry so much? As we have told you , everything changes. You might not get that, but I assure you that you will. Enjoy every stage and stop planning for something that at this time you have no control over.

TPM, I am well aware that you are an elder of sorts on this board...but REALLY? A 15 year old that can throw 80+ in the strike zone...and a coach won't consider him a pitcher? Please explain that one.....

I fully believe you that EVERYTHING changes, but I doubt my kid's dislike of pitching will be changing....so....why not get advice now on how HE should approach that if it naturally came up in a thread? By all accounts he will be playing on the "big field" in September...should I wait until August to ask about it?
