I know, I was kidding. I think I've seen some 2027 kids getting interest. They're 12/13 years old. Insane, but I'm starting to understand the projections the more baseball that I watch. It's still wildly imperfect, but I understand it a little better now.

there is quite a few 27 kids we are on. thats 8th grade.

only a couple 28 kids. but you have to understand there are kids going into 7th grade that are hitting 80 right now. Fastest 14u kids throw upper 80s/90.

when you got kids going into high school already throwing 90 with off speed, 2/4 seam then its easy to see why we are after them

same with hitters, running sub 7 in middle school with exit velocities in the mid 80s while playing with 16u teams on high school fields makes it pretty projectable.

Like i know LSU is on a couple 9th graders at barbe and atleast 1 8th grader( Jordin Griffin).

as far as 2027 kids, its more monitoring than anything to make sure they continue to progress.
