Renfroe was cut from Hillcrest in the 9th grade. Let that sink in. (Note: This was well after the end of the Paul Wyczawski era -- his player development program and ideals were practically completely gone from that program by this point. Don't want that legacy being associated with what came after him.)

Kid didn't play competitive baseball growing up prior to that beyond youth leagues and allstar teams. Not on a select/well-coached level. He didn't get much coaching and didn't get challenged at Copiah Academy. In reality, he's been playing "competitive well-coached baseball" for 3 years now. He came further in 3 years at MSU than any player I ever remember -- and still has a ton of room to improve and grow.

I don't see any purpose in trying to define his ceiling right now. He's still learning to play the game. Is he a big league hitter right now? No. But can he be? Why speak on it one way or another until we see where he is at this point next year? LITERALLY this time last year, he was made look foolish by your average college curve ball. My how that changed in a short period of time...

And Renfroe did slump at the end of the season(I can't even begin to think about the mental pressure that was on him) -- but that's not an indictment of "him not being able to hit good pitching". He hit elite staffs early in the season just fine against Arky, LSU, Kentucky, etc...
