Statistics are relevent.

College coaches do use them as a recruiting tool. Do you really expect that if a kid listed on the college recruiting questionaire that his batting average was in the .100 or even low .200 that there would be ANY kind of follow up? I have never seen a spot for "hit it hard, but it was caught" or "just missed it." The statistics will separate the "follow up" pile from the "toss--no interest" pile.

No, it is not the only criterion used to be interested in a player. But if a player does not have "good" statistics, he will not be shown much interest.

Do statistics really matter? If they didn't, what is the point in keeping them? And then what is the point in publishing them? We can all identify good hitters and good fielders. And why is there a spot for stats on the questionaires for not only high school stats, but also for summer ball statistics?

Statistics matter. Let me correct that. Correct statistics matter.
