Coaches screwing up players chances of pro careers | High School Baseball Web

This draft eligible pitcher came in relief in a college game.
Threw 91-93 mph with movement in high school and turned down $150,000 to go to college. The College coach for some unknown reason has him throwing sidearm to submarine, velocity now mid 80's. Little interest from MLB scouts now ,MLB scouts are telling HS prospects to avoid this college at all costs.

Sorry but alot of pithers get better in college some alot worse by coaches who over coach a player. If you have something that works why mess with it.

If you change a player's mechanics they should be better not worse.
