So I'm helping a buddy of mine with his organizations tryouts. We notice something, a lot of great players show up at the position his team doesn't need (maybe the other team in the org could use them, that I don't know) & it's tough to see such great athletes but you know you already have a returning player that is just as good as what you saw in the two hour tryouts. It's hard to say no to these kids because so many of them are busting their butts to put on a show- to these kids, please know you are good it's just a situation that you go with what you have.
Another observation- way too many big kids that show they can crush the ball but have no speed (I'm talking 3.6+ home to 1st) and indicate on their form that they only play 1st base. Trust me, I'm not knocking 1st baseman but versatility is a good thing and if a kid can only play one position, that's tough to find a home.
What at we don't see enough of- lefty slappers with speed.
just some random observations
