quote:do scouts see Talent on Bad Teams???
Scouts don't make a reputation by traveling to see bad teams play. Teams are bad for a reason. They lack talent. So, the answer is no. Now, if a bad team happens to play at a tournament where the scout is in attendance, then perhaps by coincidence talent may be seen.
As a junior in high school assuming he has the desire to play in college, he has two jobs. Do his best to help the high school team win and do his best to get his name out to colleges he wants to attend. If you are not a blue chip prospect then you must be proactive in this approach. You are not going to be discovered if you are the average pitcher.
If he truly is a diamond in the rough, meaning he's talented already, got room to mature, some size or an above average arm, athletic ability and projectability...then there is a college program and some coaches that would love the challenge of bringing him along as well as the surprise of others in his conference saying, "Hey where'd you get that kid from?"
My main point here would be.....being on a bad team does have its disadvantages but many times we see what we expect to see. Don't let any excuses such as how bad an area for baseball you come from is....stand in your way. You can't get it done like the kid in Florida, California or Texas but you can still get it done. And the end results in some very rare circumstances can be the same. You never know until you try. Nothing is stopping you from trying except yourself.
