How do you get noticed during your high school baseball career in order to get into a Div I College? How do you get noticed during your high school baseball career in order to be scouted and get on a Division I College? Im about 5' 9'' 125 pounds and i'm hoping to fill out more. I play 3rd and SS and don't wanna brag about my fielding but it is very very good. I'm a switch hitter with little power but always end up batting almost .400 in any competitive league i play in. I also have great speed on the basepaths. Will Scouts want me even tohugh i play a position that is mostly for the power hitter not the hitter that hits for averages and is amazing in the field, or will they move me to shortstop which i still love to play? Will i get noticed will i get noticed more because im a switch hitter?
Why Do Elementry School Baseball Coaches Take The Game So Seriously? My son is in 3rd grade , went to baseball try outs and the kids and coaches were laughing at him cause he's not very good at it. My son ran out of there crying, they hurt his feelings so badly! That was so mean! My son wanted to play this year with some of his friends, now he is totally not interested- which I wouldnt want him to play with such cruel people. Baseball in grade school should be for fun! It makes me sick to my stomach to know people act like that! Anyone else have coaches like this?

why is it that high school baseball gets no attention? I just dont understand why everyone in high school goes to football and basketball games and the games are packed, yet no one ever goes to any high school baseball games. At my school the basketball and baseball teams are the best every year and still no one goes to the baseball games. I know people will say thats its a stupid boring sport, but its not and yet people go to football games all the time and half the time they just socialize and dont even pay attention to the game. Why is it that people cant even go to baseball games just to socialize just like they do at football games? how do you get more people interested and get them to attend the games?

Would a high school baseball coach allow this? I see it all the time in Major League Baseball. A position player bats and get out. Instead of going all the way back to the dugout, he'll take off his hat and batting gloves and give it to the batboy or fellow teammate, assume his position on the field while the teammate or batboy returns with his cap and glove. It's a big timesaver for that player, but is that a common practice in high school/college baseball?

Is this good for a high school baseball player? When I was a Junior, I had a 88mph fastball, but no other real pitches. The coaches in my town didn't know how to help me, they just told me to throw hard, which I did. I played one full season before I got Cancer, here were my stats: .466 BA 2.01 ERA 77 SO 18 BB 28 HR 10 2B 7 3B 74 RBI 61 games played I honstly never really knew if I was any good. People told me I was, but it was short lived as I couldn't play my Senior year. Anyone have any children in Baseball that might know if this was good? My six year old nephew asked me today about this. Well I am not technically "cured" yet, but I have few complications. Thank you for your concern. Thanks LS...... I did recieve a few letters from Div 2 colleges and many more from Div 3. I was also 6'7", 240 lbs, very muscular farmboy who played Baseball everyday. 28 homers is not impressive and it was just easy to get those batters out. Had you ever played High School ball, you would know this. I am pretty sure my numbers would have dropped more than 25%. In central MN, there aren't exactly many good schools.

What is elementary school baseball like (in America)? I mean, teams not just playing it in P.E. (I'm assuming that they have some elementary schools with baseball teams, if not, please let me know?) What sort of season would the kids have (like when would it start and end), how many games would they play approximately in that school year, and when do they play games (school nights?). I need help for a story I'm writing, and I'm clueless... Any personal experiences (with yourselves or kids you have/teach/coach) would be much appreciated.
