Apparently Josh Herzenberg couldn’t walk away for more than a year. After finding his name in a Globe article I found a couple that are more specific to him.

It’s a shame he doesn’t post here any more. He was always knowledgeable and insightful.

He posts on IG if you wish to follow him.
In the second article it talks about contact tracing, which has saved many lives in Korea. If anyone is interested I have a link that provides information on how to become a contact tracer. It's a 5 hour course you can take on your own.
US claims they need 10k at least to make it work here in the US.
This is J H, he posted on hsbbw from the age of 15 through college, grad school, and when he became a scout, until 2014.
He made many amazing posts; this is a good one, at random:

It's why I like to read old posts, there's amazing stuff in here.
JH also did a blog on his Tommy John surgery with Dr. Andrews with updates throughout rehab. I am glad he is back doing something baseball related....and got the heck out of NYC, for at least the time being!

You picked a great one.
Ten years ago I started the thread anotherparent referenced. It was a low point. Looking back I was probably lower than needed. My son had just experienced a major injury rehabbing from a major injury (fell on his shoulder rehabbing his knee). What I learned, no, my son taught me is and I now tell others is “if a kid really wants it nothing gets in the way.” Subconsciously, I knew this from having been an athlete. But I never suffered a major setback.
When my son woke up from surgery the doctor told him he wouldn’t be able to begin to throw again until May. My son glared at him and said, “Opening day is March 15. I will be in the lineup. I’ll do my part. You do yours to help me get me there.”
He started easy throwing March 1. He DH’ed opening day and was back in the field three weeks later. He got several offers summer after senior year for the following year. Five to play four worked out fine.
Cool !!! JH was awesome. He took time to break down mechanics of my then-young HS LHP via pm among his many other great post contributions. That son is now heading toward his fourth year of college coaching.
Time flies and we do miss JH!
rjm, that whole thread is freaking amazing: 6 pages in a week. Thanks for pointing it out.
