I can’t echo this loud enough. For those of you that don’t know, Bob is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable people on this board. He is a baseball lifer. He is telling all of us that there is too much focus on metrics and not enough focus on learning how to play the game. He is right. There are only 2 metrics that can open a recruiting door. 90 mph + FB for a pitcher& sub 6.5 sixty time for a position player. Those numbers can create opportunities. Other than that coaches look at how you play the game. Nobody cares about EV unless it’s produced in a game.  The majority of people on this board have players in D3 and you don’t need great metrics to play D3 baseball. You need to be a really good baseball player. Many of your kids would be more recruitable (from a baseball perspective) if you would take Bob’s advice. He founded the Area Code Games for goodness sake! He knows what he is talking about!
