[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]

It sorta also depends on your HS team though.  Madison, SJC, etc. have role players who barely play that are D1 committed.  [/quote]

SJC has a Tennessee pitcher commit that barely saw any innings.  I don’t think he was injured.[/quote]

This is not unusual at SJC. Their pitchers are sought after by colleges not just because they are good, but because their arms are all very low mileage for a high school program that plays a lot of games against strong competition.  The coaches at SJC are obsessed with arm care which occasionally costs them results on the field, but probably a healthy thing overall. [/quote]

Well, that’s sort of true.  They had three senior pitchers that between them pitched like 90% of the games.  I get that many schools like to give their seniors more playing time because this is their final year…but they also had some D3 committed seniors that literally only had like two innings all season.

Probably 1/2 their games were blowouts, with the score 8+ to zero after like the second inning…yet they still had these three pitchers pitch the entire game for no reason.

Don’t know about the school season.  I’ve just seen them in the summer/fall and have been impressed with their philosophy in pitcher management.  Rarely have seen a starter go more than 60 pitches, even when they were cruising.  Obviously you need roster depth to play this way. Other teams grind down pitchers in the summer heat at 100+ pitches counts and it’s hard to watch. [/quote]

That’s different and it’s Cadets.  The SJC coach (who actually doesn’t coach Csdets…but kind of manages his minions remote) really doesn’t care that much about winning Summer games while he is fanatical about winning the high school games, to the extent that he almost never substitutes even in the many blowout games.[/quote]
