2014Prospect,

You’ve said something that intrigues me because its something I’ve tried to do many times and haven’t been able to. How does your boy find out anything about batting order from MaxPreps? I put the data in for our team and as far as I know there’s nothing that indicates batting position.

Its also interesting that he values BA and SlgP more than OPS. Do you know why? The reason I ask is that I’m always looking for reasons to use or not use metrics, and so far the coaches, players, and parents looking at our stats place little value on those things compared to OBP.

Would you mind giving an opinion as to whether just about any starting HSV catcher should or shouldn’t be allowed to call games. MHO is that it isn’t brain surgery, and that any player who works on it as much as they’d work on any other baseball skill can do it quite well.
