Reply to "If you're good, will they find you?"

Being good is relative.

The key is tools.

Arm strength, not judged against your peers but ML players.

Running speed, not judged against yoour peers but ML players.

Fielding ability, not judged against your peers but ML players.

Hitting skills, not judged against your peers but ML players.

Power Skills, not judged against your peers but ML players.

being a good hitter/ player in HS and college doesn't always merit an opprotunity. Athletic actions and looks also carry weight.

Fastball velo is important. Yet, so is fastball command. Unless of course you throw 95 plus all the time.

Curvball spin,deception and command is important. Deception and spin to get ML hitters out.

Slider angle, deception and command is important.

Change-up mechanics, action and command are important.

Pitch ability is important along with control.

But the most important things have to deal with pitchers having good stuff with good angle and good plane and making it work.

To many, 10 strikeouts a game is good for a pitcher. Problem is they were all of hitters swinging at balls that weren't even close to being strikes.

So being good is all relative. Relative to the evaluator and his/ her experience. How a parent or coach evaluates may not be the same as the college coaches or scouts.
