Post subject:  Your High School Teams
Hey, I was just thinking of trying this out, but I was thinking of making an Arrange team based soley on my High School's baseball team. I'm going to make it as realistic as possible, where I use the basic ability system, where my players may end up with over 4 positions, but having alot of E,F and D stats, with the occasional B or A for that awesome dude on the team. I was thinking of posting the team once I was done, and wanted to know if anyone would want to join in?

For an example player, whem making myself, i would originally be a pitcher, but also play the entire OF, SS, 3B, 2B, and C. My pitches will consist of a level 4 Curve, 1 Slider, 1 Change-Up, 1 2-Seamer, 2 Shuuto. Topping at 81, with C stamina and E control, 3Trajectory, D contact, E Power, D Running speed, A Arm Strength, D Fielding, F Error Resistance; roughly.

These were my abilities in high school, but yea, if anyone wants to join in on this, that'd be great, so we can play eachother's teams and what not.

My High School's JV and Varsity squad kicked ass and took names later last year., both of them were about at least 5 games above .500 throughout the spring.I know at least two pitchers on JV are being scouted for MLB play, and possibly have scouts after them to get them a collage scholarship to help on the road to the show.

I'd be tough, because half of varsity graduated last year. and If I can scrap enough information on what positions everyone played that were on the team. Just maybe I could get done, Just Maybe. I'd have to contact the Baseball Coaches though, so I could get official stats and info. :wink:

The good thing about this, is even if you get injured or something, you shouldn't have to restart. I would probably say it's a 3 beacause that's average, but I don't know your curve.

I'm just giving you a hard time but......

realistically speaking, your high school team is probably almost all G's. Unless you're all going to the majors straight out of high school.

On a serious note, I think you can only get three positions with one guy.

just give them stats on a high school level basis.

I couldn't agree more! You roll a guy, and you're done!

Except pitchers top speed and stamina. Speed and arm strength for a fielder would probably have to be raised to(not tons, but at least some depends on the person obviously).

Ehh, probably not. Top speeds would have been about right, and control at High school, would be high G.

Are you saying top speed would be right when they start at 77-80 everytime? Then you must be facing some slow pitchers(while in high school), I don't even play high school ball(just one of those leagues for 10-12th graders) and face pitchers that throw harder than that. I did not say control though, stamina would probably needed to be raised(not a ton but still they can pitch more than one-two innings).

Well, the thing is, we were a small school, so no one was scouted. Every raw player we had, well, he just focused on studies. I mean, only reason I was never scouted was because we were like, a super tiny school as stated, and no one cared for Leadership High School. It wasn't until after I graduated people started getting scouted there. My bro has already been offered scholarships at quite a few D1 schools. And trust me, my curve, was nasty, compared to now, whcih is just freaking raw! Besides, compared to 07, I mean, you pretty much started with like, middle school stats, except maybe pitching wise.

"So coach, do you think Billy had high D or low E control, what level slider did he throw, was that a CB or a SLV?" awkard conversation

Wow. That's assuming how It'd go. I'd ask how the team did last year, what pitches the pitchers threw and fielding positions. I'd make up the levels. I'd do all the PP related stuff.

God of all things, I get this after a specially bad day at school. :x

i used my friends as inspiration for my 2007 success team. my friend is currently leading the MLB with HR's and RBI's! And all this with a C power (I put the difficulty up... or will...sometime.)

I think you could realistically use the Tulips as a model for your team, in terms of abilities and all.

I disagree that all HS pitchers would have a G CTRL and 77-80 TOP SPD. I had an average high school fastball and threw 82-83 by my senior year, and this was in the late '80s before the big boom in weight lifting/strength training that has made it down to the HS level since then. One pitcher on the team could hit 91 on the gun, and another guy threw 87-88 on a regular basis. I would realistically rate my CTRL as a B since I averaged less than 1 walk per 9 innings throwing 35-40 innings over a high school season. On the other hand, I only averaged about 3-4 strikeouts per 9 innings as well, I wasn't exactly a power pitcher -lol-

We did do tons of running/conditioning though, we had to run a mile before practice as part of warm up and then at the end of practice we'd either run another mile or run a series of long sprints (foul line to foul line in the outfield). We did so much running that a number of guys went out for the cross-country team just to pickup a letter in another varsity sport -lol- So our STAM was higher than most teams.
