H.S. seniors used to celebrate Signing Day.
Now they don’t even sign Letters of Intent.
Some arrive on campus wondering if they’ll be in the portal by Christmas.
The NCAA created free agency, eliminated stability, and called it a system.
What a disaster.
45 years ago today, Yale's Ron Darling & St. John's Frank Viola matched up in the greatest college pitching duel ever.
Both starters made it through 11 scoreless innings.
Darling didn't allow a hit until the 12th inning but St. Johns won 1-0.
Some players are cage hitters…others are gametime hitters.
The cage can make a lot of players look like hitters. The box score tells you who actually is.
Bottom line, Coaches are looking for the hitters who show up when the lights come on & hit under pressure.
Observation from Jupiter..
90-92mph does not phase high level HS hitters like it use to.
The rise of the machines have made hitters more adaptable.
I think the pendulum is about to swing back (if it hasn't already) to sinker/slider profiles, & guys who get ground balls.

Thank you @BCgenius for the article about our two programs. Much respect to our rivals @L3Beaney and Waterford in the quiet corner of CT. We’ve always had the mindset if it’s not us, we hope that it’s you.
