Re: What are the velocities of your HS team rotation?
A few years back my son took pitching lessons from former KC Royal Steve Busby and was told the three most important things in pitching in no particular order were: 1. Location 2. Location 3. Location He also stated that if you are a lefty (my son is) and you can throw the ball 60 feet 6 inches, someone will give you a look. My son is a freshman at a D1 and most of the credit goes to Mr. Busby. Laid the pitching foundation for my son.

Re: Big League World Series on ESPN Question
It is a mix. One or two of these kids played on a pretty good scout team in SoCal. I know Brady was on that team. He can play. There was some daddy ball going on, but Ginther showed that he was a producer. Did anyone notice that he's almost 19 and going to be a senior in HS? He's been moved around and held back to give him a chance to compete. BTW, it is league age 18 as the upper limit which means some of the players will be 19 at this time of year. I'm not sure Abbot belonged in the lineup...

Re: Big League World Series on ESPN Question
redsox, Certainly LL is recball. However, that doesn't mean that the championships teams are playing at a "recball" level. The Conejo Valley (Thousand Oaks) team that won the 12yo national championship in 2004 was a very good open level travel team even without all of the players. When I say that these teams would have been middle of the pack HS teams in our HS league that means that they'd be one of the better HS teams in the country. That isn't recball level to me. Would they beat one of...
