Moral of this thread seems to be the illusion of control... you must do what you think is best for your kid at this present time. If a gap year is what it takes, then that is what it takes. Having an A type personality was challenging even prior to Covid. Add a legit arm injury, and I can see where the pucker factor goes through the roof. @YachtRocker for what's worth, some long-time posters on here have their own writing styles, and may come off abrasive at times. However, if you don't take...

PF, I agree with you. Developing a plan is important. This poster had no plan, he was just throwing out stuff and he wanted answers. Not too many reclassified due to injury, its expensive and most players do not need 5 years of HS because they got hurt. He was all over the place with the surgery and rehab plan. PTWOOD gave advice on IMG. Baseballhs gave great advice of the current state of affairs in college baseball. RJM gave sage advice as did anotherparent. I understand how you felt last...

@2022NYC : What's the name of the local baseball org that's now a "post grad academy"? I'm creating my "in case of emergency break glass" plan for my 2022 if summer doesn't pan out and I live near-ish to you.

You guys have jumped on YachtRocker for looking to the future. Trying to develop a plan for his son as/when he recovers. That does not make him a bad parent but a good one. It is like planning for retirement or putting money away for college rather than counting on baseball. It is planning which is what many of us A type personalities do. He came here asking for advice from someone who had been there as to pros and cons on taking a post grad year since his son was hurt. Some of you have...

And my advice, it would be in the best interest of HSBW if you never posted here again. If you don't like us here, move on. When did you take ownership, start to speak for the site?

Here we go again ...

Lol.

To add, since I have been away for several days to see some live baseball (YAY!), some of us here have had kids with major injury. TPMson and keewartson included. It is a terrible, gutwretching, feeling no matter the level of play. I am a Type A planner, too, and I realized with son's latest injury, IT IS TOTALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL. I cannot be the surgeon, I cannot do the rehab, I cannot control Covid, I cannot make the coach put him in the lineup. Provide the resources a parent can provide.
