Two RHP's

These two RHP 2013's must have other ideas about their future.  College baseball recruiting  is a complex "marketplace" where a lot of things have to come together.   Clearly the coach was in a "buying" mood, but the two RHPs were not in a "selling" mood.  It happens, and you can't be afraid to say "no". 

I agree with Fenway.

 

You have left out an important factor, grades and test scores.

It's not all about how hard you can throw, how many pitches one has in his arsenal that gets you into a specific program or not. How are academics?

 

However, at some time this year before august, they will both have to make a decision and it isn't always what one wants

Pitcher #1 is a good, but not great, student. Don't know about SAT's.

 

Pitcher #2 is a smart kid with good grades, and very good SAT scores. #2 threw mid 80's last year and could crank it up in the high 80's at times. Don't know where the 91 came from. Sort of surprising. It is my understanding that he threw 91 in bullpen and then was able to replicate it when the coach showed up.

 

To my knowledge, this is the first time that either has actually gotten an offer.

In my opinion, Pitcher #2 will have more options due to grades, raw tools, being seen multiple times, etc. than pitcher #1. 

It is my understanding that another DII (same conference) has shown up to watch these two pitchers. From what I know, this school has also offered pitcher #2 an offer that is much better than what the first school offered. Though the offer was not accepted, it is being considered. I don't know if this school offered anything to pitcher #1.

 

I'm on the outside looking in and catch tidbits here and there.

 Many D2's have very fine programs, I am not sure for the reason or importance of this topic.  Maybe they are just not seen as D1 players despite what they throw or don't throw.

Does one of those players belong to you?

 

FWIW, the coaches probably came out to see one pitcher and liked what they saw in both, obviously.

As I mentioned in the first post, no real question. Just a rambling post, more of an observation really.

 

Do either one of these kids belong to me? No. Have I watched them play and develop over the years? Yes. So, I have an interest in what happens but I'm in no position to give them or their parents any advice. I'm an outsider watching from a distance.

 

Got some clarification on the offers. Whatever the first school offered to player 1 was so little that it isn't being considered.

 

As for player #2, he actually received a very good offer from the first DII school. The offer he received from second DII was a bigger percentage scholarship, but that school has a much higher cost of attendance. Therefore the first offer, though a lower percentage, actually means they would pay less out of pocket to attend.

 

I'm just throwing this off the wall in case anyone is interested in the process that these two are going through.

I still dont see the revelance of the topic.  Recruiting is personal and offers IMO are no ones business other than the recruit and family.  Plus never do we know the true story.
Just my observation I thought that I would throw out there.
