Very good point.  I guess I should preface any advice with "just something for you to think about".  And I certainly don't proclaim to have all of the answers.  Far from it. I'm just trying to do as best of a job as I can to help my son mature into a man.

 

I'm open to all advice, I may disagree because of who I am or because of my general naivety, but the back and forth discussion is helpful in my understanding this foreign language that is baseball and baseball recruitment.

 

My son doesn't care what he "should" be throwing, "should" be running, or "should" be doing in general, he just wants to play.  He says he wants to play at the next level, however, being on here has shown me how kids act that WANT it.  As of this moment, he doesn't want it like that.  He thinks he does, but he doesn't.  I liken it to "being in love" in 10th grade is not like "being in love" when you are 30, at least, not for most people.

 

Only time will tell.
