I need opinions to from players, coaches, parents, scouts, TRhit-college showcase runners, anyone
What exactly do you think it takes to get to the Major League level of baseball competition? Hard work? God-given ability to hit and crush a ball oevr 400 feet, or to throw a ball 90 MPH with control and a huge curving curveball, the right training? Money to be able to receibe the right training (elite expensive traveling teams, or fitness company memberships, practice or whatever. What does it take. I mean if you think about it, as a centrefielder, you just have to run fast, throw hard and/or accurately, hit well and field well. Running fast means striding far, and striding fast, which I have, both of. I can throw pretty hard, everyone on my college team says so. Accuracy I do need work on, but still I throw hard. Hitting just means making contact with the ball. Hitting ground balls and running them out, or hitting fly balls, deep fly balls (home runs). Fielding could be my worst, my foot work, I can always field a ball smoothly, but coming up and throwing is hard for me. It just needs a little practice, that's all. My footwork isn't habitual. As for God-given I've always been able to run, and work hard, but I've never had the money to play for those expensive scouted tournament teams. So I have speed, hard work mental habits, good arm, willing to learn, and everything a business employer is looking for ( like the ability to learn) ,so why haven't I been signed to a team or offered a contract? What am I mising? What doees is really take to reach the Major Leagues, or even the Minor Leagues?
