Reply to "College Hitters"

My contacts with the pro scouts provide an opportunity to keep current and active. Several years the Pro Scouts requested that I watch 2 HS hitters.

Two hours before the game I was at the Baseball Field. Watching the player's body language as he prepared for the game. How did he study the opposing pitcher in the bullpen, interact in the dugout with his teammates, what were his eyes focus on? Did he have a cell phone On?

Interview with his classmates as to type of student and background. ID the parents, where do they sit? If possible I will learn what Summer programs did he play? Did he play as a 15 year old with the 17- 18 year olds.

During the game, I evaluate his swing and adjustments, position in the batter's box and "on deck" circle. WITHOUT WOOD BAT I cannot tell the "sound" of impact.

Both players had great careers in College and now each playing 1b in the MLB.
