Due to a shoulder injury, surgery and rehabilitation that has affected his ability to play now for almost two years, my 2020 finds himself behind the curve and concerned regarding his baseball future. The good news? He is pain free while throwing and he is building strength and velocity again. Bad news is he missed his entire Soph season, most of his 16U summer season and throwing was limited for 17U tryouts and he did not get any offers from the teams on his radar. His plan now is to have a strong Junior HS season and hopefully either find a solid summer team in need of a player or get PT as a sub for a few teams. Obviously no guarantees either will work out... Another part of his plan is to continue working out and training to improve his measurables with the hopes that he can put up numbers, that despite the hole in his playing resume', would get the attention of a few coaches. He is targeting a local showcase, an unsigned senior showcase next October. The question is, what should he be shooting for numbers wise? At this point, I think he's resolved that he won't be a high level D1 prospect, so what numbers would make a D3 coach take notice and maybe give him a look? He is an outfielder, 6'2", lean 175" with a projectable frame. Last measurables we have were from two years ago. His outfield throw then was 79, EV 85 and 60 time 7.4 He's grown a LOT since then and is a lot stronger, so I believe he is capable (if he keeps working his butt off) of putting up solid numbers. Again, just looking for some goals to shoot for...
