What I don't get is that, at least in my mind, baseball scouting should be one of the easiest things to project. When I was growing up in the pine belt I watched a lot of little league baseball. The kids that had the smoothest hands and could square the ball up on the bat almost all played D1 ball even though a lot of them weren't the biggest/strongest kids at the time and may not have been the guys that carried their teams.
So I always get a little shocked when we have guys, not only on the team, but starting that are overmatched at the plate on a consistent basis.
On the flip side it's the hardest sport to recruit because you can't sent guys to every tournament, not everyone is showing up at camp and if you try to scout at the lower HS level (like Renfroe) - you go and watch the other team walk the guy 4 times and you end up just wasting time.. Then the 11.7 scholly restrictions make it a math game sometimes.
