Reply to "Summer Ball or Not?"

Those of you Houstonians may know the story about the Royals Head Scout Gene Watson. He never made his HS team, CUT, every year. He chose to stay involved as a manager and was allowed to practice with the team. As a Senior, the soft lefty got his opportunity to play..........as a pitcher! He went on to gain the attention of a college coach, got a scholarship to play, stayed involved in baseball after college with the Rangers, then onto the Braves where he met up with his future boss, Dayton Moore. The man's love for the game and perseverance speaks volumes to his character!

Don't look at being cut as a set back, the coach has told you he's not good enough by cutting him. Get a plan and go get better! 

There are no naturals. Everyone has to commit themselves at some point to getting better, especially at the HS level. If you don't commit to baseball, it will chew you up and spit you out. The game owes you nothing, it's a privilege to play the game of baseball.
