@adbono posted:@lucky4three, If you are perceived to be undersized as a pitcher (under 6’-2”) you are at a disadvantage. That’s just a fact. However there are coaches that pay more attention to performance than size. Those are the coaches you need to find. At this point in time they tend to be younger coaches who put more emphasis on stuff than size. To them stuff is the separator. To get their attention you will need to show them that your son has a pitch (or pitches) that do something better than average. My suggestion is to get Trackman readings on a bullpen as soon as possible. Then get someone that understands how to interpret the data to explain it to you. What you are hoping for is something you can sell. Like a high spin rate FB that really holds it’s plane. Or an off speed pitch that has an unusual amount of movement. If one of those things exists, and you can prove it up with data, that becomes your selling point. And the headline that you lead with when approaching college coaches. They are much more likely to respond to that than the old tired dialogue that coaches hear from every parent about their kid’s pinpoint control and warrior mentality. Because more often than not that argument is very subjective and parents are biased. Can’t argue with science that’s real. It’s much more persuasive.
Gem.
