On the bright side, my son developed into a superb defensive catcher because 10+ bounced pitches per game was the norm, and some could have 20+. But it takes a toll.

Thanks TPM, Smitty, and Batty67! It's funny you mention your son's catching. Mine is also a catcher and has experienced the same thing as far as balls all over the place are concerned. He's caught 14 innings this week and I bet he's blocked 30+ balls. Definitely gets practice with that!

Everyone's sentiments so far are in-line with what I know about recruitment, and we're doing the appropriate things outside high school baseball to move down that path, it's just brutal to witness failure after failure, week in and week out.
