A kid throwing 77 not getting enough innings (in dad's view)

A kid told to hit from one side of the plate (and dad doesn't like it)

A kid is going to miss a playoff game for a showcase.

What are the issues here? My son's high school coach would have told someone SKIPPING OUT on the team for a showcase, " good luck but make sure you turn in your uniform before you leave."

I'm under the impression your son starts in the field. Is this true?

For a little added drama there's an issue with a teacher who is the coach's wife. This is a baseball board, not As The World Turns. I see nothing but drama and blaming the coach. Your son is going to the next level and beyond? Good luck!

My son threw harder than everyone on his high school team. The coach wanted him in the field and only used him as a closer. He pitched 8-10 innings per year. Did I miss out not getting ticked he wasn't a starter?
