Do highschool Freshmen teams usually keep a lot of pitchers?

You don't have to hit if you can pitch.

If you were the 2nd or 3rd best pitcher there, you will make the freshman team.

Ok. The only reason why i am worrying is beacause I did bad at everything except for pitching. I didn't hit good and I didn't field well when I played OF.

A lot has to do with how the coach makes up his team---many coaches at the frosh level want players that perform well on the mound, in the field and at the plate---many do not have the liberty of carrying players that are pitchers only

Not trying to cut you down son but these are the cold facts---all coaches do not do the same thing

You do have a much better chance of being kept as just a pitcher though. Lets say as just an outfielder who couldn't hit. Many schools also keep a larger freshman team or even have 2 teams if there are enough players for fear of cutting someone who migh develop.

oh ok, thanks for being honest.

At our High School, a 2A school in Texas, our coach does not cut any freshmen. He would most likely DH for you when you pitched and hope you would develope further with practice and hard work.

We had like 25 freshmen tryout and he said that he'll keep around 18.

On my son's freshman team, they took a couple kids as pitchers who couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. You have a chance, but you are really at the mercy of the coach.

Whether you make the team or not may depend on the size of the roster. The smaller the roster, the more need for multi talented players. The tail end of rosters is often a tossup between players. If you impressed with your pitching it could swaya decision in your favor. However, who you struck out may have a bearing on the impression you made with the coach. If you struck out Rusty Gate and Kay Alot the coach may not have been impressed.

The part of the process you had in your control was how you prepared for tryouts and how you performed in tryouts. Now it's out of your control. All you can do is wait. Good Luck.

At my high school, it just depended on how many uniforms they had.

The biggest wore #13 and the smallest wore #1.
