All this height issue really is not what is important. The important thing is can the pitcher get outs, period. I will agree that "eye candy" may open some doors along the way, but in the end, the ones that are successful are the ones that will continue to get opportunities. I know I have read things very similar by PG and other posters. The further my son gets along in the process, the more I tend to believe this. Ultimately, at every level, the coach had better win as this is a results-oriented business. I agree that the professional route can stand a little more development as opposed to the college route, but in the end you better produce. Even that professional team has a clicking time clock on every player. It may not be fair, but what in life is fair? It is what it is. Unless you are a college pitching coach or a MLB decision maker, our opinions are just that, our opinions. And let's face it, nobody really cares about our opinions.
