That's awesome! And also proof that if a kid is worth looking at, he will be noticed, and they'll recognize him in the future. They're looking at talent, yes. And the big guys get a lot of looks. But my experience is that they also want a peek at the later bloomers and to see who has skills, a good foundation, and a great attitude. Potential. Sidenote- I have an early(ish) bloomer that got a lot of good looks as an 8th grader. Now he's a sophomore and I find myself thinking about his projection and constantly wonder if mine will plateau while the late bloomers pass him up or if he will continue to grow and improve. Only time will tell and each player is different.

All a player can do is put forth his best effort to get bigger, faster, stronger, more skilled and baseball smarter. Everything else is wasted energy worrying about issues that can’t be controlled.
