Meanwhile mlb scouts are shaking their heads at it all. These guys are making a ton of money off these parents, while not getting the best talent noticed. He showed me a video of a kid from a small town ms this weekend (6?1? 225) who is a switch hitter. Came up to JA for a game and hit bombs from both sides. Parents didn?t want to do the travel ball stuff so he?s not ranked. And likewise, his only offers are Juco and southern.
Well, it sounds like they're right. Maybe lazy college coaches are the problem, not PG.
