You should encourage him as much as possible and document every moment of his failure.

I knew a guy who swore in high school that he was going to play football for a D1 college. The guy never even played high school football and sucked in intramural football. He's probably sitting around right now thinking about how he's going to be an astronaut.

It's simple take him to a batting cage tell him he is facing 50 pitches if he hits 40 he can try out

Take him to a batting cage and find the fastest pitches available(most have at least 60mph). Video and post results.

Older guy in my HS played in the MLB for a couple months. Later on, my softball team was in a tournament, and this guy was on an opposing team. He hit a softball out of the field, and clean over a tennis court. Next at bat, he did the same thing left handed. Next at bat, we tried to walk him and he reached, and still hit it out further than any other person could.

to be good at baseball you just have to be able to go yard once in a while. no other skills matter. fundamentals are a crutch for the talentless.

Right? I was all excited thinking I was going to see some idiot make himself look like a complete fool trying out for a baseball team.

Why are you reading a thread that's more than a year old Kige? Scouting for YouTube Sports?

FWIW Jose Altuve played in the minors last year while he was working a nagging injury. It's not a bunch of scrubs.

I could play AAA ball too. I'd be the worst player on the field by far, but I could play.

I say reality for him will be a bitch. Hope he has thick skin and isn't in his feelings while being told he looked handicapped compared to the guys that train for this all year round.

If he hasn't played 7 yr old travel ball and played in world championships in Orange Beach or Gulfport then he has no chance at making the majors.
