I’m not going to say “you have no shot.” You’re only in 8th grade. But you have a long way to go and a lot of work to do. Most players who play in major conference and other top fifty programs are usually the first player you notice at a high school game. I would recommend working hard to become the best player you can be. Get bigger, faster and stronger. Get on the best travel team you can. You will know if you become a potential Stanford prospect. The top travel teams will pursue you.
Stanford is a great goal. But it’s too early to make your potential list. Work on becoming the best ball player you can be. Ultimately, even if you can’t play for a Stanford your objective should be to get a quality education first, hopefully play ball someplace where you can get on the field regardless of level and have a quality baseball experience.
Since you’re not the player people notice on the field now chances are you have until the summer after your soph year to start showing yourself.
Did the person who timed you in the 60 know how to properly time you? Also, get to some D1 and other games. Sit up close and check out how good the players are, how hard they throw, how fast they run and how fast they swing the bat and in most cases how big they are.
Good luck.
