mom...While stats might not be important to some coaches, they likely will not be interested in recruiting a student who is hitting .150...that is why stats are important.
They are simply an indicator, that, at the level your son plays, he is competitive or better than many.
A couple of years ago, I was at a game between two very competitive teams, one team being notorious for having a lineup filled with .400 plus hitters. The pitcher for the opposing team is a stud.
Well (the home team), they lost 2-0. In my mind, I figured a no-hitter. Well, the "home" scorecard listed a little secondbaseman as getting two "hits". One was a groundball to the shortstop who threw high and the first baseman came down off of the bag; and, the other was a "duck snort" between the 1st and 2nd baseman, which wasn't caught...ball traveled all of 100 feet. 2nd baseman dove at the last minute and it went off of this glove. I gave the 2b an error, but the official scorer gave the player a "hit".
I think scorers matter.
I think stats matter.
