Reply to "National LOI signed. Coach wants to release verbally"

They cannot release you from the NLI so they have to honor the scholarship for a year, if it is a P5 school, 4 years. It seems like you turned down some better offers to go to a place where you'd be happy without baseball. If that is the case, feel free to stick it to them and attend the school as a student only on baseball's dime. If you wish to continue playing time to make some phone calls. As 3and2 mentioned, the draft is coming up. What might be more important than college players being drafted are HS players that were not projected to get drafted but end up going relatively high. Some of the lower tier P5 schools might have a few go in the top 10 round that were not originally draft prospects when they gave their verbal. Might be worth it to look into those schools.

I would assume you play for a club team or have a pitching coach or possibly a HS coach that can help make some phone calls on your behalf. If you were only 86-88 this would be a lot more difficult, but 89-91 after 6 weeks of injury tells me you're not in midseason form yet and those numbers might even be higher at peak performance. You will generate interest. 

Why would he want to do that?  That makes no sense.  He is a senior, he has options, and one of those options should not be to sit on campus and watch others play.
