notThatRJM posted:That's awesome! Congrats. 2 observations: 1) tryouts here in the frozen north are still 6 weeks away. 2) I am envious of 90 players for tryouts. My son's Division 1 high school will struggle to field freshman, JV, and varsity teams. No more than 50 boys will come out, and 40-45 is more likely. It makes "tryout" a bit of a euphemism.
My kid’s high school only had about fifty players tryout for three teams in baseball and softball. The varsity teams won their large school conference. The JV teams were competitive.
The players came mostly from the middle school across the street. If they weren’t making the 7th or 8th grade teams the writing was mostly on the wall by freshman year. The freshman teams were so bad they were eventually dropped. Between two kids I recollect only one freshman team player ultimately making varsity senior year. He never got out of an inning in his three or four appearances before the coach gave up on him.
