Reply to "Do Bad High School Stats Matter?"

My son had serious interest from 3 D1's before he signed. None saw him play in a HS game, and none ever mentioned his HS stats. They know what they saw the days they came to see him (travel, against top level teams). If I'm a college coach and I even looked at HS stats (which I don't think many do), the only thing I might notice is if the strikeout ratio was high. My son K'd 2 times in 100 plate appearances his senior year. The college guys are somewhere in the 1:5 range being acceptable. If I'm looking at a HS kid (and this is somewhat depending on where he plays, competition, etc) I'd hope he would be in the 1:8-1:10 range.....but again, if the college guy comes to see him play a good team during the summer and he goes 6-10, the HS stats are going to mean zero
