This article is about a young man who was cut, but persevered. I'm his new fan.

Freaking awesome.
Great read. I need to show this to my 2016 LHP. He didn't make the JV team last year at his high school and then got left off his U16 travel team (which he played on as a 15yo). He was about to quit baseball all together. Then a note from a college coach changed his whole mind and he's been working all fall and winter to get ready for tryouts. Got him pitching lessons and his instructor has rebuilt his mechanics to the point where this week he hit 80 with his fastball. Now I hope the high school sees how hard he has worked to get to this point.
I'm pulling for him JBoss!

Thanks for all the wishes of luck. Tryouts are still a month away here in Indiana. I'll let you know how things turn out.
That is a wonderful story! Thanks for posting it.
