I am the dad of a 2017. There is a major D1 school in the southeast that he is interested in. He is a lefty pitcher with great mechanics, decent velocity for his age, needs to put on a few more pounds and hopefully a few more inches. From reading the boards I gather that less is more when e-mailing a coach.
Question, my father in law(who just passed away) was the starting shortstop on this college team's first baseball team back in the fifties. Does this bear mentioning in the e-mail?
