Finally, after months being off, the boys are going to be playing a game, (albeit just a scrimmage against another school). It seems like forever since the last game, and I can't wait for first pitch, first hit, first run, first yelling parent, and first high five. I am convinced that I am into this stuff way too much, but you are too or you would not be on this site. Who else will take the first step and admit your addiction?

There are a lot of good highschool pitchers, especially in Texas and more specifically in the DFW area. We are fortunate that we live in an area where we get to see a lot of good ball players and especially very good pitchers. However, not all pitchers throw in the nineties. Not all pitchers have projectability such as being 6.4. No need to be jealous, especially when it is about a kid. I for one am very proud of what he has accomplished. There are a lot of other good pitchers who have success on the mound but the reality is that velocity and height are two of the many talent/gifts that college coaches and professional scouts covet which he has among other skills. Of course there are other things they look at such as make up, the ability to throw strikes, command of other pitchers etc. Just be happy for him, he is not taking anything from anybody child. They all have their gifts which I am happy for them.
@ golden Rule Not Jealous at all! And weather you are 5 ft or 7 ft does not make a difference you can throw 100 miles and hour and not be worth nothing if the spots are not on! And if I can not post somoething on here without you guys getting defensive and have to bring my son's name in this well that is just a shame and immature on yall's part.
If nothing else, at least this blog is entertaining. Re: Stankiewicz...you can't teach 6' 4" 220, but I know for a fact that Teddy has worked hard to be in a position to have choices. My son has played with and against him since they were 9 years old. Teddy is the real deal. He throws 90+ with very little effort. No animosity here. We wish him nothing but success.
Michelle33, I for one don't know you or your son. As a matter of practice I try very hard not to criticize any kid. They are young men and not paid proffesionals. My motto particulary as it relates to children is if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all. Sometimes being sarcastic is another way of being negative towards a kid. My comment about being jealous was not directed to you per se but to those whose motivation may be coming from a point of jealousy, especially to the poster who said that he was overrated. When I see a kid being criticize and I know that kid I will do my best to defend them, especially when the comments are out of line.
