DONT FRET

Thank you for posting this. My son is a pitcher (2009) and recently recovered from a stress fracture--thus missing this summer and fall. We have been told not to rush things and for him to just have a great spring--others have said to attend Christmas camps at the school where he is most interested--his question is "does that even make sense if the school has signed all their 2009 scholarships" He has also been told that every school looks for a pi†cher in the spring and for him not to worry. What is your opinion?

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate:
Contact the coaches at the schools where your son is interested in attending and let them know your status. (best if your son communicates, but one of you must) Ask for suggestions and or recommendations. Now is not the time to go silent.
Also, be prepared to make the doctor's report available to them.

I too appreciate your post! Our son is a catcher (2009) that has also played a QB in football for the past few years. Unfortunately, he had a season ending football injury early this season and was unable to make the PG Top Prospect in Marietta as well as attending a camp invite from one ACC school. Our son is a bit frustrated that he has gone under the radar without any offers. However, he has been able to increase his SAT scores during his down time. One summer coach has told him to just be patient as the draft and the new rules could open up some spots/opportunities in the future. Interestingly, I had been speaking with another ACC recruiter that had some interest in my son this past summer and he told me the same thing.

Over the past few weeks our son has been training hard and working on hitting and long tosses preparing for his senior year. We will be attending several winter camps during the Christmas Holidays(one coach has requested him to attend) so it will be interesting what lies ahead.

For those making trips to off season camps---make sure you are in tip top baseball shape when you get there
