Reply to "College Pitcher, Fall Baseball over."

My son pitched the 14th inning of two 14 inning scrimmages his first fall season. Didn't pitch in the 3rd scrimmage. Opening weekend entered in the 9th winning 8-0 of the first game.  Gave up 4 runs and did not record an out. Final score 8-6. He did not see the field for a month. He came in to mop up losing 13-1, bases loaded 1 out. K and a ground out, than pitched a 3 up 3 down next inning. After a few more successful mop up outings the coaches were more confident to put him in more meaningful situations. 

Point of my story, fall was not an indication of his role in the spring. When he didn't perform in the first game he sat and other pitchers took his opportunities. As he started to perform he took other pitchers opportunities. As stated above when he gets his chance he needs to perform, that will keep him in the game.
