Reply to "What will it take for me to make varsity?"

Yep, probably a cousin of the poster on every baseball board who annually writes:

quote:
"I'm 14 and throw 88 mph. Is that any good?"

Hard to tell for sure, There was a kid on the pitching group here recently who said he was 5-8 and 310 pounds. He wanted to get his pitching speed up to 60mph. Everyone (except me) laughed at him until he posted pictures of himself, his team and a baseball blog he does from Brooklyn. Nice kid and one of the few here who has a realistic view of his talent and D-1 chances.

I kinda think Mains3 was scamming the board. He was SO OBVIOUSLY not varsity material. But one of the rules on HSBBW is that you can't hit a child with reality
