I wish but I'm 19, slow, can hit and throw and field but can't find the time for it. Plus I am a pitcher who is a major junkballer with a 69 mph fastball so yeah I pretty much quit playing after little league. I wish I could play in a game before I pass on but sadly it's only a dream :,(

it's been my dream since I started playing to get to the show and pitch a shutout against the Yankees. Doubt that'll happen but if I work hard enough and jump at every opportunity I get, whether it's going to a camp, trying out for a team, etc., it might just come true. Good luck to you as well, hope you succeed on your...how to say this...road to the show!

It may not be realistic, but I would like to get drafted out of HS. I'm an RHP in 10th grade that sits 81-82 and can get to 85 with 3 decent offspeed pitches. At 6'2, 160 and still growing I have plenty of projectability, so I'm kinda banking of putting on about 30 pounds and 2 or 3 inches.

u throw fast.

im 5'8" so i dont really have a height advantage. i forget what i threw last time i was gunned but itd pry be around 75.

weakest part of me is that im pretty bad at fielding grounders. outfield and pitch baby

Easiest way to get drafted is to be big and/or throw hard. Keep working on your velocity. You'll definitely at least find somewhere to play in college.

I don't think I've ever mentioned it on here, but I'm playing at a D3 school in Kentucky, so I've got four more years of baseball.

Hey, congratulations! That's awesome!

I weigh 920 pounds, is that big enough?

I'm 19 and 5'7 235 and I am utility player I can even pitch but the fastest I ever threw was 74! But I practice every day on my pitching and hitting also my patience at the plate but I don't think I'll play college ball in the fall. Well I can hit but I might have post-concussion syndrome from football and wrestling so it's harder to field line drives. But I still have an outfielders arm and can field better than most people my size. So in honest opinion should I play baseball when I transfer?

Thanks!

Only if you're a least 5'6".


No reason not to try.

lol I'm actually 6-foot, ~170 lbs. so average size. I can basically play every position at that size, except catcher since my knees won't let me. Definitely going to try to walk-on in college if possible, unless I suddenly get scholarship offers or something

I'm not sure if you should try immediately, if you think you might have post-concussion syndrome, that's a pretty serious thing, wouldn't want to risk getting messed up even worse. If you get it checked out and it turns out to be nothing, by all means I think you should try out.

Well I have been cleared but still it looms

Baseball sucks go basketball whooo

I miss basketball a lot. :/ I was a good shooter and defender but wasn't tall enough to play the post and can't dribble very well. I probably could've played freshman ball but I got cut in favor of some questionable players. I think I would've played through JV but gotten cut from Varsity if I'd been given the opportunity. In fact I probably wouldn't have even tried out, even when I thought I was going to be on the freshman team I never had any intention/hope of playing Varsity.

Since I'm going to be playing baseball in college and I won't be allowed to do intramurals I probably won't play competitively again until I'm in grad school, which is a little disheartening.

Ballhandling is probably the easiest thing to improve tbh, it just takes time and practice. Good defenders are always appreciated as well.

It just wasn't in the cards for me, I suppose. I spent most of my time at baseball and never really got comfortable dribbling in traffic, so I was a spot up shooter that had nowhere to play (6'0" now, maybe was 5'9" or 5'10" freshman year).

ayoooo, congrats JP!
