My nephew just attended a showcase mainly 08 grads where he was outstanding as a pitcher and also had a showcase best 60 time of 6.54. His velocity was a very consistant 82-83 and topped at 84; excellent control/command. Stats: 2008; 5'10/150; LHP/OF. Junior season high school; minimal pitching due to injury, offensive: 488 avg, 590 OPB & 27 for 27 steals; above avg defensive skills. NO power! Just completed outstanding summer both as pitcher and position player playing in one of the top programs on the W. Coast and competing against top flight national competition up to 19U age groups. He's had minimal contact from any program; a few form leters and e-mail invites to camps (for cost). He's happy playing either position. Any suggestions on weather he should focus on 1 position exclusively going forward?
