hey guys, first post here i have been reading posts on here for the last 3 or 4 years now. My son goes to one of the largest schools in the area.He is 16 and did not make jv this year however at the final cuts coach told him if he were anywhere else he could play vs.This just did not make sense to me, he is a pitcher and works very hard at it.At the time of try outs early feb he was crusing right around 80 and peeked out at 84.During tryouts he was at 3rd base the whole time and the did not even look at him pitch.
He played travel ball with everone that made the jv the year before. we were a young team playing 18u tournys so when ever those selected pithers would struggle they would put my son and he would do rather well but still would not earn extra playing time because that belong to hs players(the team would alway carry 3-4 kids that did not make hs team)
So i guess what I wanted to know is can one make a colledge team without playing HS baseball afterall he olny has one more year to tryout cause they don't let seniors tryout. Iam running out of ways to keep his head up,one thing he told after this years tryouts he said "dad no matter what i do they just won't give me a chance"
