Has something like this ever happened, or is this totally out of the question:
HS senior 1B is tall and thin with athletic "baseball body" 6'4" 180 lbs, not well known, but receiving late-season mention in newspaper for leading a large metro area in batting average (600+). Basically has not had any exposure before this. Would the local pro scout ever decide to go and take a look at an unknown player just based on reading in the paper that he leads a densely-populated area in batting?
Sorry if this question sounds too silly and rose-tinted and all that. Probably highly unlikely ...
