IMO there is huge difference between a Pitcher who can play another position, and a position player that pitches, closes or is the 4-5 guy. I would guess that in the top 500 players on BA list that 200 have pitched in HS, and of the pitchers listed in the top 500, I would say 75% have played another position in HS.

It will change for the majority in College, but in HS you play the game. Actually, most colleges that we talked with before signing, wanted my son to continue to DH, and play 3B. Alot of these talented kids are also a captain.

They need to be a large part of the team if they can play. If a player chooses to only pitch or play a position that is their choice. Winning isn't everything, but playing is in HS.
