We had "that dad" at our high school. The kid was the LL stud who didn't grow. However, he did develop to throw 85. On the kid's PG profile he was listed as 5'11". The kid was 5'7". The problem with his pitching was 85 down the pipe in large classification high school ball is known as BP.
All we ever heard was how great the kid was. Of course he was screwed by the high school coach soph year. The coach didn't appreciate his 7+ ERA. The kid transferred to the Catholic League. The dad told everyone now the world was going to see how good his kid was. Well, the kid got screwed. He hardly pitched. The kid returned to the high school senior year after a meeting with the new head coach. He got his ERA down to 6+ before he was removed from the rotation.
While this kid was stinking up the joint in high school all we heard about was the incredible feedback the kid was getting from showcases. All the major programs in the country were watching him and corresponding (in your dreams, dad).
Since the the kid threw 85 over the following three years he walked on at two JuCos and a D2. But he rarely pitched. The coaches were screwing him! Between high school and college the kid went to six schools in six years where every coach screwed him out of his shot at the big leagues.
