Reply to "What good are HS stats?"

It's a pretty far leap to make from a scout discounting traditional stats to "refusing" to look at stats.

Scouts use whatever tools which make their job easier. In the OP case, it clearly wasn't HS statistics; it was a voice from a trusted source - and that trusted voice relied totally on MaxPreps stats. Now, if it turns out that the kid has no talent, you have used up a chip.

(Interesting to have 14 stolen bases attempted in two games; that's a lot. It would make me wonder if a scorekeeper confused runners advancing on wild pitches/passed balls with true stolen bases.)
