Several years back at son's school, four "stud" freshman 2020's showed up at tryouts. The school is a 6-A in Texas, had several D1 commits and had won their district the prior year. Coach took one of the 2020's and made him a varsity starter for entire season. Left the other three on JV. JV didn't get the practice field much, had one coach that wasn't all into it, just rolled out a lineup each game (at the behest of the head coach). Team went four rounds deep in the playoffs. The 2020 position players, as sophomores, started and the pitchers got innings. Team lost in third round of playoffs. Last season, the 2020's, now juniors were team leaders. Along with a stud freshman shortstop and a senior college outfield, we lost in the state finals. That took winning five 2 out of 3 series to get to state, then a semifinal win to get to the finals.
And this year the 2020's are seniors and we'll see what happens. Maybe even get to play against Baseballhs this year at state!
Enjoy it, it goes by quick.
Yeah, well BaseballHS will have to get there for that to happen. And with the talent that has rolled thru Lake Travis HS it boggles my mind that they can’t seem to do it
