Reply to "WHAT do Scouts look for -PITCHER"

I would also add that there is some difference in what a scout is looking for based on the MLB club they work for. We met a scout while in Yakima during our son's short season, who actually lived just 15 miles from son's college. He had seen our son many many times during his college career and told us he really liked him BUT the team he scouted for was in the same conference as a very big market team, and that he needed to look at similar type pitchers as their direct competition. Made sense to us, and much like the Dodgers (one team I have followed for a while), some clubs go after the bigger harder throwing pitcher out of high school while others go for a more seasoned finesse pitcher from college.

Granted, I am sure they would all like the well seasoned, big, strong, healthy 95+ hurler, but that isn't reality ... thank goodness !!!!!
