PG, on the personal side..

My LHP son has been invited to the J.O. tournament in Peoria and he, too, is looking to break into varsity. He's a sophomore.

He was told by coach he'd be varsity then last week there was a transfer from another state.. an older RHP with an 88 MPH fastball. My son found out today and is very disappointed but determined.

All of this points to why "the average fastball" peaks my curiosity. As good as I think my son is, there's always another out there and you need to know. Pitching is the show. Velocity is the ticket. Well, in this case my son has decent velocity but got trumped by an older player. That's baseball.

Anyway, my kid was invited but couldn't attend your National Underclass and Academic Showcase, but we're looking forward to the West Coast Top Prospect Showcase. You guys run a first-class operation. Keep it up.
