In your "expert" opinion...how often does this happen?

some college coaches are very good and make their players MUCH better pro prospects.


some are to be nice just terrible.

before committing to any college ASK questions, talk to players and MLB scouts, can they coach, can they instruct. Do players get better after attending that college or worse. Is there a high rate of injuries among pitchers

Answer the question please....how often does a college coach hurt a pitcher?

sorry no ones done a study on that. but just look at pitchers who were high draft picks out of HS and their draft status drops way down after college.

either they were over drafted in the 1st place, happens alot.

they did not get any better in college

they got hurt

they got worse, knock up their GF, developed a drug or alcohol problem, ate their way out of baseball, or quit baseball and joined a band

andy...I know that no study has been done BUT...

You act as if you have infinite wisdom on the subject and I would like your "expert" opinion. You parrot what you hear and throw it around like it is gospel. Let's hear from the "expert"

I am asking about you and your college coach !!!

Did he hurt your future--yes or no !!

who knows better than you-- I dont think we need a study--just a simple answer--yes or no and who was he !!!!

TR , ya writing a book or what???

andy,

I take it from your inane smileys that you won't answer my question?

what is ya question, and what ya name anyways, is redbird a call sign, like maverrick and goose. do you get to buzz the towers??

if you were a tree what kind of tree would you be?

does your boss mind how much time you spend on here or did you just win the lottery

The question is above.

I am the boss so I don't have a problem with it.

How many kids go to college undrafted and then get drafted out of college. I would bet many more than are ruined by college coachs. Because a kid is drafted and decides to attend college the coach is supposed to not coach him? Leave him alone dont ruin him. Let him coach himself.

No offense, but if he was drafted in the fifth round, why did he go to college in the first place?? If his goal was ever to play ML Baseball, why go to school and risk injury if you have that kind of draft position?

Now, if his career aspirations are to get his education and then see what happens baseball, who cares what the coach does? Get his schooling paid for and be happy. If he wants wo play pro ball, he blew it by not signing.

WHAATTT???? There's a new topic on this board regarding the use of cocaine, if you need help!
And what coach in their right mind (unlike Dibble) would want to change a HS pitcher's mechanics if he's throwing mid90's. He's obviously doing something right. Unless he's throwing at hitter's heads something needs to be changed.
And Dibble get your facts straight. How many HS pitchers who throw 88-91 get "hit hard"?
" MLB scouts are saying this is why he should have signed out of HS," Actually that's why he shouldn't have signed to anywhere. If someone throws 88-91 in HS and gets hit hard, what good will he be in college, or yet single A?

I wrote the pitcher threw mid's 90 's in HS, he does not now, since the college coach changed his mechanics and is NOW is getting hit in COLLEGE

Yea, that's how I read it. My question, Is the kid willing to make the adjustments the coach is teaching? Or, is he not mentally accepting the change. Shame on the coach if he made a bad call in switching mechanics. Besides, any HS kid throwing mid 90's should be playing pro or going to a school with quality coaching. Again, I don't understand your scenario, it doesnt add up.

They try it with hitters too but the good coaches will quickly see if the adjustments are helping or hurting--
