[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really isn't that hard to figure out if you're kid can play in college. Why the PP keeps arguing about it is beyond me.

Is your kid the best on the team? No? Then probably not. Easy. College ball is way way different than HS. If your kid isn't the #1 player and never has been then accept reality and move on. [/quote]

Considering plenty of D3 schools will take pitchers that only throw high 70s (Trinity in CT or Colby as specific examples of kids that will be playing for those schools in the Fall)...I don't know what you are saying.  D1 absolutely agree.[/quote]
I don't believe that there is anyone throwing only high 70s and going D3 unless there is something more to the story. [/quote]

Like what?  These schools require high grades and/or test scores, so it’s not a cake walk acceptance.

News flash…CalTech also has kids that only throw in the 70s.  Not that many 1600 SAT kids with published research that are also great baseball players. [/quote]
Once again most of DCUM is living in fantasy land.

Go look at that the Caltech roster. The baseball players are still really really good baseball players and have years of being a star player in HS. The pitchers are not throwing high 70s.[/quote]

You mean like the very first pitcher on the roster who is 5’4” and doesn’t list baseball as his HS sport?

You really think he’s launching lots of velocity?

My kid spoke with the Caltech coach multiple times…many kids are also walk ons to the team because Caltech doesn’t give any benefit to athletics for admissions so they can’t get enough recruits admitted if they wanted.

Many of the kids don’t list anything for their bio.

Perhaps someone else resides in fantasy land.[/quote]
The guy who has pitched 5 innings his entire career and has an ERA of 27?
