Many years ago at SSU [D-2] school, 10 pro scouts were evaluating one pitcher.
The scouts were friends and one famous scout "waved for me to join him". Lloyd was a former MLB outfielder. I asked "what are you looking for"?
I envision the pitcher in the World Series game 9th inning and his SS makes an error. What would this pitcher do?
"Would he threw his glove, yell at the SS or would he turn around go back to the pitcher plate and get the next batter out"?
A valuable lesson for the young players today. "Focus on the goal"!!!!! There is NO way to measure the heart.

Dude, respectfully, you are just living in a different era. No one cares about that shit anymore. If they did the kid would be playing pro ball because skill wise, he was close enough and he had the "heart"/desire. It's just cold hard skill/ability. Not hard to find examples of players who were paid big time and washed out because they just didn't care.
