Reply to "Follow the money - straight to the mound"

My son was a two way player.  Sophmore year of HS he wasn't sure if he would be recruited as a pitcher or hitter He had heard both from college coaches. He spoke to a few pro scouts that summer who told him his bat was good but his feet where slow (I mean really slow)so he should hit for fun in high school but focus most of his work on being a pitcher.  Funny tidbit: his sophmore year his HS coach was constantly berating him for being slow, son said to coach "I don't have to run the ball from the mound to the plate".  We know 3 other pitcher draft picks who could swing it but lacked the footspeed to make scouts forget their arms.
