Doesnt really matter. This kids a poser... No way he can burn a*# like I did back in highschool

Im sure you were awesome... How did that turn out for you?? Still in the pros? No, I didn't think so, just a grown man, talking crap about a kid. Nice. Hold on to those "glory days"... they're probably as good as it will get!

Yes we do see holes and flaws that can cause arm and strength issues. Surely not saying this kid wont make it but with the issues that we are concerned with his chances could be slim in our system. Have scouted for 18 years with PAC-10 and SEC ties, I only work Tennessee and Georgia, Florida areas. We all must understand that on the message boards alot of misunderstandings are happening. This is all talk here but when the rubber meets the road the decision is the colleges. This kid has a great fastball and yes he did have a great high school tournment but at the college level everyone is on a level playing field. You must be able to place and work the system given to you. Good Luck to this young man. Sorry to disappoint all his fans!

I want you to know that, while I speak only for myself, I can assume his fans will agree, you have not disappointed any of us. We have seen him play, we have been there for his games, his wins, his shut outs and we know that he will be fine. As was previously noted, he is only a high school player now, so having a "great high school tournament" is what we are looking for. College will come and he will be signed and coached and keep growing as an athlete. I think that a true scout would realize that and know that even if there are holes and flaws, someone with this much heart, dedication and talent will easily keep improving their game. So, my point is, "we" see some holes and flaws in your scouting system and in your general thought process. I don't blame you though, it must be hard to watch a kid with so much potential do something that you were most likely never able to do yourself.

I scouted him this Spring for a few colleges, He has a good arm however in college without the presence of a hard changeup and being able to place to ball at critical times. We feel by the 3rd or 4th inning he would be finished. Ok High school pitcher, below Average college pitcher!

I would love to know what teams you are scouting for. This way, I can come watch the team that is lucky enough to sign him shut you down... thank you bye!
