This has always stumped me. WHY don't they care? Can someone explain this to me other than if they can play they can play because there are kids that play just well above average against their own age and WAY better when playing down and get very good offers in 9th grade. Not sour grapes this doesn't affect my kid.

Why don't they care? Because it makes their job much easier. A bigger freshman or sophomore who is already 6' 180lb and throwing close to 90 is a much lower risk than a 14 year old they have to project and hope grows into a college player.

Pro scouts care because they love the 17 year old senior.
