Scouting grades and parents

Andy


Since you claim these parents know nothing about the grading format it might help if you noted what the top and bottom numbers of the scale were.


You belittle them but you do not try to help them

TR

the scale used was 20 was the lowest , 50 the highest.

Just a little footnote, I tell players and parents EXACTLY what are pro standards and what is not before they are ever step on the field, unlike most people.

My son throws 83-84 off mound and has a very good 12-6 curve, was timed at 6.8 60 at area code tryouts, hits for average but not a power hitter what would he score out as?

I was referencing the parents here on this board who may not know the scale


there are varying scales you know--not just yours

Where can I access some scales for measuring tools? I will conductiong tryouts for walkons at a Juco.

Kind of hard to judge having not seen the player play.

It would also help to know his age.

This page gives pretty good insight for college scouting.

I think the the average velocity for D1 Righty's/ Lefties is a bit high on that site, unless they are Jugs readings.

Did I read that correctly? The average size for a RHP in DIII is 5’8/155? If that is the average, it means for every 6’4/200 RHP there has to be a 5’0/110 pitcher in college. And I’ve seen some 6’4/200 RHPs in DIII. In fact, I’ve seen a 6’10 pitcher in DIII. Isn’t the average size of a high school pitcher bigger than that?

They aren't my numbers, so I really can't explain their choices.

I would imagine that these are the minimum characteristics, or the number of 5'7" guys are the offset.

Might be some 5'0"/110 knuckleballers.

Couldn't resist.

As of now we have 7 pitchers who are 6-2 or better and none under 5-10

something is askew with those numbers

yOU CAN HAVE ALL THE 6'2 PITCHERS WHO THROW 90 BUT CAN THEY PITCH? GIVE ME A PITCHER OVER A THROWER ALL DAY LONG.

we are talking average size on a team not ability or velocity

Actually the page takes into account size, velocity speed and impact.

I know TRHIT it's just amazing how we have become consumed with size and that many translate size to potential. Whether it be on the mound or at the plate. I have been to many showcases and coached at many different levels and have seen showcase studs who bash the ball over the fence or to the wall in BP but can't touch a ball that moves. And on the mound throwing gas yet straight as an arrow. There so many showcase players that look great but can't play and other players smaller who are ok showcase players yet can flat out play when the game starts. Showcases in my opinion are very over rated and a **** shoot. In baseball size should never be a liability your either a baseball player or not.

RYNO,

Are you getting mostly D-2 interest?

Ryan reminds me of a Len Dykstra before bulking up.

Be sure to include effective bunting ability in his arsenal to take full advantage of his speed.

Better use of his legs will get him a few more mph from the hill.

Thank You Quincy Yes we are getting D2,NAIA and a couple D1 have called to show interest. He has 2 official visits scheduled at this time.

I am tring to find a good pitching coach to teach him how to use his lower body more, PM me if you know of one. He will have weight training at Tampa Prep this year as a Class.
