Reply to "One Recruiting Story"

Son switched travel teams summer after jr year, to play for a team that got more exposure. It was tough because he loved the current travel coach. D3 coach was following a teammate and saw son pitch, wrote his name down. Later that summer same Coach attended game to watch an opposing pitcher, son was the star on the bump that day, coach remembered him. Still didn’t contact him. Son was invited to attend a showcase event because they had several pitchers back out last minute. Once again, son was lights out. Faced nine batters, struck out eight and a weak comebaker to the mound. D3 coach was there, still didn’t say anything to him. That week he finally had his PC reach out via email and invite him to campus. Honestly, we had never heard of the school, but once we started to research the school, it was an excellent fit academically. We were somewhat disappointed with ourselves for not being familiar with the school. Son committed to the school Nov, 2020. So far it’s been a great decision. Best part was son went back to his old travel team to play summer after sr year and he spent last summer as the pitching coach for two of their teams (14u and 17/18U). It’s looking like this summer will be spent playing summer ball for the pitching coach of a school that recruited him, but he turned down. They had a real good connection.
