HOW FAR WILL THESE STATS GET ME(HONEST OPINION)

Those stats on their own won't mean anything to a college coach.

Actually, a few of those numbers have some meaning. The batting average is inconsequential since college coaches won't know what type of pitchers and competition you have faced. A 7.14 60 is good for an infielder and decent for an outfielder, but a sub-7.0 60 time (6.7-6.9) is preferable. See if you can work on your speed. Regarding your OF velocity, do long toss as much as possible to gain arm strength. The fact that you're a left-handed hitter may do you some good too.

If you want to compare yourself to some other outfielders, look up random profiles on www.perfectgame.org and compare your numbers (60 time, height/weight, and OF velocity) to theirs. See how they are rated. (PG's rating system is explained at the top of this page: http://www.perfectgame.org/players/?tn=497

Bobblehead, since you're from Canada, perhaps you can assist this young player with some recommendations on how to get seen.

Were the offensive stats off varsity or jv pitching?

Not that the statistics thenmselves mean much but if the .667 was done at the jv level, those numbers will be much lower at the varsity level because there's better pitching and the defense tracks down balls that would be hits on jv.

Too many variables with offense to look at the offensive numbers.

My son's batting avarage from JV to varsity took a dip about 30 points and even though he faced better pitching, and defense, he cut down on his strikeouts in roughly the same amount of AB's in half and despite going 1-12 (which in a short hs season is a huge drought) in one stretch, which knocked him out of the top averages in the county he continued to hit the ball very well which may be why his head coach never moved him from the heart of the order, problem was he was hitting it at people or the defense made great plays robbing him of hits, hits that would've dropped in at jv.

As for the arm strength, you definitely want to continue to get stronger, long toss and add more velocity.

Try and get out to a showcase event or play on one of those teams where they get scouted.

These Stats are at the Varsity Level.

Coaches are not interested in stats. They are interested in tools...

Running
Arm Strength
Fielding
Hitting
Hitting for Power

Not neccessarily in that order though.

I agree with some of the other posters, though my opinion is that if you want to catch a college coaches eye at a camp or when you are playing, you need to do one or more of the following things at a high level...run, throw (velocity), hit for power.

I used to be an instructor at a D 1 baseball camp during the summer. This is what their coaches wanted to see. And, lets just say that this program has won its fair share of National Championships.

G-2304,
You should look into JUCO programs in Texas. There have been many Canadian players that I have seen play over the last two years and these programs have had some success with these players. You are likely going to be behind due to playing less and the best way to get more reps is to come down south to a JUCO where you can play games in the fall and spring. NAIA can also play and practice more during the fall than NCAA schools.

G -- you may also want to re-check the accuracy of your batting stats.
1 + 18 + 9 + 31 = 59 hits
59 for 75 = .787 BA

Unless he only listed official AB's his average is .983 with the 15 walks. You are correct on the .787 with 90 plate appearances.

I do agree with Infield08, work on lowering your 60' time and arm strength.

Speed and arm strength are the things you must come to the table with. Everything else can be worked on and improved. Coaches know more games are won with speed and defense ...those things don't go into a slump.
