@lucky4three posted:I hate the word PROJECTABLE. It's been tough for my boys. Their great pitchers but unfortunately, they are not tall kids and that's what these coaches want. Why does coaches take kids that our "projectable" but no work ethic and arm care routine? I would think that would be very important, but most these coaches just want the tall kids.
WHERE'S THE COACHES THAT Love THE Boys that have tremendous work ethic?
I'm going to assume based on your post your sons are pitchers. So, at every level there will be an amount of "projectability". There will be players that get opportunities you might not think they deserve. But at the end of the day what coaches really love is results. If your players can throw with velocity, control, and command multiple pitches, and get people out, they'll get playing time that "projectable" players that don't produce won't.
At the end of the day sports are a results-oriented endeavor.
