I have a nephew that has not signed with any schools yet and can flat out play any position on a diamond with a glove like Bill Mazeroski and an arm like Rocky Colavito you can pretty much do it all. Did i happen to mention his fast ball is pushing 90 mph? He did however have a great game in a legion baseball tournament going 9 innings 136 pitches and only threw 11 fast balls.
I know of 2 SR's in my sons HS program that can should play on after HS, what level is in the eye of the beholder. PM me and I can share details and my opinion if you'd like
I'm just a random dad, but I'll refer you to this list of top unsigned players in NorCal compiled by a former MLB scout.
The answer to the original question is YES!
Here is a list that includes many of the best unsigned seniors. Possible some have committed very recently.
BTW, there are many pages of players listed, not just the first page. Go to the bottom and click for additional players. These are all players we have seen, not just at our events.

was wondering if one of the pitchers I coach was on this list. Did a search for him on your site and there is no information on his profile. No picture. No velocity. Nothing. Why would that be?
R u asking because you have one? If so give more info.
if players have no offers, they need to look at schools they r interested in, see if they still r recruiting, talk to them, get seen. Time to face facts, your big D1 schools will not come calling and walk by your HS game and see u. Be proactive and realistic about what opportunities r still out there for you. Get your coaches involved, many know small school coaches if you go that way.
Its Dec your Sr. yr u should already have applied to schools that are a good academic fit.
Many players sign in Spring, but you need to do some work. Always amazes me to hear parents in stands say their son wants to play college ball, but they 've done no research on how to make that happen. Imo you should be looking into playing college ball your So yr. put yourself in positions to be seen/followed.

Has he had offers, talked w coaches? Interesting that he's pushing 90 but only threw 11 FB. Why? Does he not have location?
Is his Legion coach calling pitches? If so I would ? Why he would want him to throw so few FB. Does he have great CU? Hope it wasn't 120t curve balls in one game.
The reason for 11 fastballs during that game was earlier in the tournament this particular team had beaten my nephews team. The first game pitcher only utilized his fastball and the team ripped the ball all over the place. My nephew decided to throw an abundance of change ups then curves/sliders and lastly his fastball was only thrown 11 times. Originally Posted by playball2011:

Jolietboy,
Sorry, I can't answer that question without knowing who you are talking about. If I had to guess I would say we lack information about him and don't have a photo.
Man it happens everywhere. I have a Senior Lefty who is Mid 80's with a Stellar GPA and he is unsigned.
Just curious how the 2015's that were mentioned previously in this thread are doing. Hope they found a place to play baseball beyond HS.
