Re: Book recommendation
Another book many on this site will enjoy is "Senior Year: A Father, A Son, and High School Baseball" by Dan Shaughnessy. Dan is a sports columnist for the Boston Globe. Here's a link to the book: http://www.amazon.com/Senior-Year-Father-School-Basebal...id=1183403730&sr=1-1 I've only just started the book but looks to be a good one.

Value of different PG events
Would like opinions on the value of the different PG events. My 2019 is scheduled to play several PG events this summer (listed below) but I'm wondering how valuable these events are in terms of exposure. Is he better off doing a showcase or will these events generate interest in him from coaches? Generally speaking he wants to play his college ball in the state of Texas so playing at Tx State, U of Houston, TCU and Sam Houston (plus a non-PG Baylor event) seems to make sense to me but are...

Re: So you want an advantage?
Thanks Coach May. I forwarded on our remarks to the HS basebal coach when I read this the other day. When I stopped by last night at the hitting barn (thats what they call the hitting cages at the HS), Your words were in poster size, framed, on the wall. I saw 3 young freshman reading them as I was there. Once again your incredible words and thoughts will help young men succeed.

Re: Lax
At my sons HS we have been struggling with this for years. Most the football players that are not linemen play lax now. They used to all play basebal. They have a winning tradition and have won more state championships than any team in Ohio. A lot of players get recruited to east coast schools to play. It does not help that middle school Lax is no cut. While baseball still is. Many parents see the scholarships and put their kids in lax instead of baseball. Once cuts happen in HS some try and...

Re: Please help provide some direction?
Wow, lots of good info there. Sounds like a fellow parent trying to do the right things. My guy is at La Salle, also a Junior, PM me if you want to talk local stuff. Depending on what school your son is at, i.e. if its Bishop Hendricken, might determine whether or not his lack of Varsity play is a true determinant of value. My guy swung between JV and Varsity last year and that is based on having some talent in the face of a coach who is very loyal (and I agree with him!) to his upper...

Re: Please help provide some direction?
No, he's not at Hendricken, but his varsity coach is also quite loyal to upperclassmen, to the point that even in blowout games last year, the "swing" players didn't get to swing. The only swing players who got any varsity time were those who were needed to fill-in for injured players. We registered him w/ NCAA a couple months ago. I've also created a spreadsheet and we did some collegeboard searches, as well as compiled lists of D1/2/3 schools. Then, like you, I've visited their websites to...

Re: PG WWBA Georgia
Midlo i have not had poor encounters my 15yr old enjoyed playing in the 18u top 16 finish and playing in the 16u as well. I have attended these in various forms for years. trust me i dont want to name names but there are a lot of weak teams. Anyone from GA knows east cobb has about 2 very good teams and the rest are between good and very bad. Look at records from even local events much less national. It is not hard to get in the tourney. Also many places enter several teams say a a/b/c team.

Re: Baseball Program Philosophy
Ironhorse- why the hostility? So what you are saying if a parent (you assume I am a parent of a high school kid, I am not) has a question about the program and a philosophy, then they are bad and the team does not need them? That is odd to say the least. This board has very good baseball minds and lots of coaches. I am not a great baseball coach/mind. I am looking feedback. Lots of folks responded about the 6 minute mile and now I get it and support it. I asked another question about how...

Re: Baseball Program Philosophy
The hostility is because you have some sort of agenda here. You tried to bash a coach on one issue and got no real support. So you crawfished and tried to hammer another (much more fictional) issue. If a coach told you, in person, that he would not be instructing any kids this year, go straight to your AD. Period. I have a feeling this didn't actually happen. So you came to a message board. This all just sounds way too unbelievable. More than likely the issue is with you or the player, not...

Re: Northwest Coach Resigns
I have to agree with both txbball14 and Haltom Scout. I am lucky, the head football coach I work with is great. We have partnered up very well I think. His dad coached baseball in college and even though he did not play, he is still a fan and understands. He comes to all home games and all the in town road games. We share quite a few players at Summit and the kids know that when it is football season the focus is football. When it is basebal season the focus is baseball. It is no coincidence...

Re: 10yo pitching question...
I will agree with you on that last paragraph. You mentioned that injury happens to players who both pitch and catch at the same time (same game). Overuse from "throwing hard" in too close of a timeframe without recovery from fatigue and normal muscle stress is what leads to chronic pain. Two years ago I took my kid off of a travel team because son was being used to much at the pitching position. The wierd part of it at the time was that I took him off mainly because other parts of his body...
