Those career records?

Yeah, at Georgia College, which at one time was a NAIA school, and now plays D2, a couple years in the 80's we played around 70 games. And twice we won 54. Now they only play around 50

Same deal at our HS. You can never break the old records because you cannot pitch all the innings they were allowed with pitch counts.

In looking around at different websites, some colleges do have a notation for NAIA and NCAA.  I wish I could remember one to list here but I'm getting old.

Here is a case in point from Texas HS baseball. If you check the record book in the pitching categories you will see the name of David Clyde all over the place. David pitched for Houston Westchester HS in 1971-1973 and was the best HS pitcher I have ever seen. He threw 95 from the left side and had a hammer of a CB. In his 3 HS years (freshmen couldn’t play Varsity back then) he had 53 wins, including 29 shut outs. His senior year (‘73) he was 18-0, with 13 shutouts & 5 no-hitters. My HS team played Westchester in the State Championship game in ‘73 so we got to see him pitch the semifinal game the day before and I will never forget it. Clyde was completely dominant as struck out 19 hitters and shut out Galena Park. He was billed as the next Sandy Koufax and the Texas Rangers chose him as the #1 overall choice in the ‘73 MLB draft. One week out of HS Clyde was on the mound in Arlington as an 18 yr old starting pitcher for the Rangers - and he won! Then they proceeded to ruin his career - however that’s another story. But hard to imagine his HS records will ever be matched.

Interesting story.

Many records have a minimum and especially college.  You have to have played in a certain number of games or pitched a certain number of innings for the records to count so I think that will cover some of the records in college that you are describing.

Son had a couple of stellar years in HS but no one will ever break the records for strikeouts in a year or wins per year and many more pitching records for HS's.  You can't pitch enough innings even if you pitched every available inning under new rules to beat out old records.

That is literally the point of every post in this thread.

A friend of mine was a guard on our football team. He will always hold the football throw record for IOWA, because they don't have it anymore.

86 yards! Folks do not try that at home.

You know, some records weren't made to be broken. Especially now, with COVID and inning limits and all that snowflake stuff. If you ask me they should asterisk the new totals, and give them records anyway, like how everyone gets a trophy, win or lose.  Son's college team hit .489 as a team last spring and averaged 17 runs per game. Undefeated.  He was 4-4 in SBs and didn't make an error.  He has the record for SB percentage and fielding percentage for his school. Those records will never be broken.

Team was 3-0.

I am reading your post thinking "team hit 489 last" GTFO and then say team was 3-0 LOL

Well played.

My son averaged 27 strikeouts per 9 innings this spring. Don’t think anyone will top that! Pitched 1 inning. 😃

Yeah, the older schedules and innings pitched etc were bananas. My son doesn't hold many records in college but 1 he does have is 3 saves in a row at a w/e series at Virginia. No one will ever break that record, they can only tie it as most series are only 3 games. He had combined for 23 S/Os (starter had 11 across 4.2, Ryley had 9 across 4.1 and closer got the other 4) against Elon with the starter and closer in '17 but they broke that last year in '19. Reading bios is sometimes a bit comical in what they chose to add, highlight and their descriptions of the player.... but I get it.

No records, but if CoVid wipes out his senior season, as well as most of his junior, my kid will have homered in his first college ab and hit a bases loaded triple in his last.

And his mother and I will have joined a very, very large club:  parents who watched their son's last baseball game without knowing it at the time. Come to think of it, I already joined that club years ago when my older son played his last Little League game.

An argument could be made that the pre-BBCOR era HR records should have an asterisk too.  Just saying...

Yeah we watched our son’s last game this spring and had no clue that was going to be it

Rough, yeah?  Last game I saw was my son's team's season-ending game in 2019. Was literally on my way to Florida for the 2020 spring break trip when everything hit the fan.  Saw no games; just brought him home.

Seems unimportant in light of what's happened since, but still.....

That last game is never easy.  My daughter was playing on a team where the pitcher was breaking all kinds of NCAA records.  My daughter was on a tear as well.  Then, on the first warmup pitch, the pitcher hit the top of the backstop and walked off of the field.  The #3 had to jump in and by the time the #2 was ready, something like 6 runs had scored.  #2 was hammered as well.  The kid stood at 1st and started crying.  It was the toughest game I have ever watched.  They were ranked #1 in the nation and ended up one win from the D-II College World Series.  Again, no one is really ready for that last loss.  BTW, the pitcher turned out to be alright and had some therapy.  She went on to break more records her senior year. 

I've always said that I hope I know when it's the last game, but I know few are offered that luxury. Really tough...
