Nice story. Yes, I do believe at one point some have to decide at one point. My daughters ex was a stand out bb player as well as a swimmer. He chose to attend USC (california) on a swimming scholarship and missed Olympic trials by a few seconds.  He was never sorry that he didn't chose bb.

Clemson comes to Miami in a few weeks, looking forward to see him hit.  

IMO - Well worth the price of admission. Great approach...does very little in the trigger/load process to generate power. 

 Both sides to the plate?  He is from your town so I imagine you have seen him. I don't know much about hitting but  its the process he uses to get the power that they say is pretty impressive.

He's not a switch hitter...sweet swinging lefty only!  

I am taking my son up to Clemson soon to catch a game or two.

I meant both sides of the field? Duh!

 FL State in April,  will be there then. Always a good series between those two.  This weekend is BC who is doing well.  

LoL...yes, uses the entire field as most good hitters do.

Seems to me he just has been putting them over the fence!

BC has played a bunch of cupcakes before last weekend. They did take two of three from NCSU.

Why is it that we harp on "getting a well-rounded education" but we aren't concerned about "well-rounded athletes?"

I was thinking the same thing.  Perhaps for some, especially these days it's more about raising athletes than raising children. 

 

I like your quote, "more about raising athletes than raising children."  I think it is very easy to lose sight of the goal - raising children to become good people.  If they become a great athlete along the way, wonderful; but the goal should be helping them to become the best adult they can be.

Hard to believe some teams have played almost 20 games and are near the "half-way" point. Wow does this college season move by quick. I have been following a few younger friends through their first season and along the lines of this thread, its amazing to see how they are fairing. They ALL have talent but some are taking longer than others to realize this. Some are taking longer than others to understand how important academics are. Some are taking longer than others to adjust to everything new that is College Baseball.

Mr. Beer went 2-5 yesterday, including a walkoff HR.  I think he's batting .456 right now. 

Mr. Beer is ACC co player of the week!  They threw him a breaking ball low and away.
