Stats are everything. However I agree that they also need to be scrutinized. Perhaps this catcher is playing on a national type team facing great pitching day in and day out. Never having hit .300 under those circumstances is not necessarily a deal breaker. Or maybe its another stat that makes him so recruitable. Maybe he has a 1.85 pop time. These are also statistical data. But whatever it is there is a data based or statistical reason they are heavily recruiting this player. So I think what you mean to say is that no one stat or piece of data by itself is everything. But stats and data are everything when taken as a whole picture.
