Jared Mitchell's high school baseball career

Nope. Apparently he has never seen a baseball before he got to Omaha.

i'm sure the fact that he's always played multiple sports throughout the year does have an effect. as opposed to most big time baseball prospects who do baseball year round and have done so for years.

I'm willing to bet at least half of our players were football players as well and a bunch were even quaterbacks.

how many tried to play college baseball in the SEC while also playing football?

thats the point they are always referring too. shite its not that hard to understand

debate club only, the reason why he is well spoken

No but they have an adjustment period... I can tell you the baseball players I know in high school they played both but their focus was baseball.

So even during football season they were at batting cages. Mitchell/Jones being so good at football probably put more focus and effort into it. Thus resulting in a delay when they come back to start working on baseball...

Hitting a 90 mph baseball is hard to do, I imagine its harder to do after not seeing one for 4-6 months out of year.

Also there is a body adjustment, I am sure. Teaching your body not to swing at pitches Working on bad habits that you can develop by not playing every day or practicing every day.

Yep, was drafted by the Twins out of high school, top 10 rounds I believe.
