I'm at a bit of a crossroad right now. My varsity baseball coach told me that I wasn't talented enough to play at a high level, but he was going to keep me on the team anyways. We just recently had two scrimmages, one that I missed because of the SAT, and the second one never played in. I feel that I am better than the players he put in, defensively and offensively. He is putting in sophomores over me, a junior. granted, I am on the smaller side of builds, but i don't let that affect my play. I play as hard as i can for how small i am. I have considered quitting baseball for my school, but since i don't play travel and don't have much money for showcases. i want to play college baseball and hopefully further if that is where my talents and dedication take me. i have put myself in the oufield, where i thought i would play, but with 7 others, 4 seniors and 3 sophomores, out there, im not sure i will see much, if any, play time. i have also been a pitcher since i started playing higher level baseball, but have not been able to prove myself because i haven't gotten the chance. i love pitching really more than anything else on the diamond, but i rely on my command and that is not what my coach seems to want. he wants the big, powerful players, at every spot. i really want to go as far as i can, and i think pitching is my way to g. does anyone have any advice on what i should do?
