HS Baseball Verses Select

I go with the majority here.
Just one thing, that player is pitching 220 pitches per week because the PARENTS are allowing it to happen. Stand your ground.

Heard a story today about a player that was a fine pitcher in HS who could not get drafted (what he wanted) because he had thrown TOO much in HS. Too many arm problems.

Agree with fungo, TR, H3 & others...He needs to play HS.
For reference & some more great education in baseball, here are a couple local/territorial sites that will help guide you.

Houston 5 A Baseball has a wealth of info on all things baseball in the Houston area, including select teams, etc. Check them out!

hsbaseballweb has some great articles, too. Use the green pull out tab to learn about timeline, making the high school team, etc. etc. etc!

Good luck to your son!

Seems to me at least one pretty good coach was an English Teacher - John Wooden.

I was lucky enough to do both. You play travel ball pretty much for yourself and to get noticed so you can play in college. Yea, you want to win, but it's not like representing your school and playing in front of your classmates and you parents. Travel teams come and go from year to year and usually the high school team is together for four years. You get to play with kids you've grown up with and will play with them probably for the last time.

I love playing high school baseball and wouldn't trade it for anything.
