Tough spot to be in. Not doing exactly what a overbearing coach wants can cause problems as my son now deals with. 2018 grad, made jv team as 8th grader as pitcher/ catcher. Freshman yr varsity coach wanted him to go to outside pitching coach. Son liked pitching but prefered catching. Took catching lessons, played catcher on showcase team summer after freshman yr and committed to D1 school that fall. Coach never talked to my wife and I during recruting process. Coach and son relationship is bad. Honor student, never been in trouble, coach don't like. Rarely gets in game. My son's decision was good for future not for present. Coaches are concern about their program. Parents and players have to balance that with their future plans. GOOD LUCK
