24 was mine's number from rec all the way through HS. In college, Freshman year he was assigned 47. Sophomore year he got to pick and chose 4, was expected to play a position. This year he could have kept 4, but he and an infielder switched numbers, he's 35 this year. He's only pitched this year, and I suspect will keep 35 for the remainder of his career. Although there are exceptions, at his school position players are lower numbers, pitchers are higher.
