Reply to "HS Pop Times"

I can tell you that caught stealing percentage is a pretty unreliable statistic the lower the level of BB.

My kid is an 8th grade catcher. Game tonight three baserunners advanced on what would be scored as steals. All three had the runner going, curve in the dirt, my son goes into block position. Blocked all three, but no way in time to even make a throw.

Two other times tonight he had baserunners picked (one at first one at second) and the infielders failed to make the play.

I'm sure the same stuff happens enough at the HS level to make scouts rely on pop times rather than caught stealing percentage.
