Maxpreps....lol

noumpere - apparently you are not only calling balls & strikes, but also scoring the game! 

Lol....no idea how it got in this forum.....sorry

Buckeye 2015,

Rather than shoot the messenger, why not take aim at those responsible for posting numbers like that? Ask yourself what coach would want to be associated with numbers like those?

I don't have any connection to any of the teams I mentioned....so I'm in no position to tell them what to do.  Just think it's comical that someone would do that....as obviously those numbers aren't likely correct.  My son's team doesn't use it...but does keep very accurate stats.  We're 18-5 and have one kid hitting .400...lol

I'm not a fan of maxpreps but it's like anything else.  It's only as good as the people using it.  Back in the olden days of pre-technology times people still fudged numbers.  People who know (like yourself) realize these are comical things but sadly there are those who believe them.  But once again those people don't carry any weight either.

Moved this over to General Items for you....

And I completely agree on MaxPreps stats being "entertaining" My favorite a few years ago was a team with three players with greater than 1.000 batting averages... See this thread... http://community.hsbaseballweb...819#2982475076198819

Does you son’s team use any stat service?

Our team is 21-4 and I like to think I keep accurate stats too. We’ve got 1 player batting .400 going into the playoffs. But since he’s only at .403 and likely gonna be facing nothing but very good pitchers for whatever games we have left, I doubt he’ll end up over .400 for the season. In 12 seasons of scoring HS ball, I’ve only scored for 2 regular starters who batted over .400 for an entire season, and never even one who did it for his HS career.

We don't....the kid hitting over .400 is actually my son.  I feel pretty safe saying his stats are correct...as my numbers have matched our stats guy's numbers the entire year...every time they've posted stats. He's our leadoff hitter and has struck out 2 times in 23 games...which definitely has helped the average. He's got some colleges talking to him....so we can't make up stats...wouldn't be worth it if a coach asks and ends up finding out we're fudging numbers.   I know what it's taken for him to stay at that number....which is why when I look at Maxpreps, I just have a hard time believing that any team has 4 guys hitting better than that...especially on a team with a record of 12-13....lol.
