How do you get to college as a picher

It is really baffling. Is the plate further away in college than HS these days? Who is teaching these supposed star pitchers how to not pitch? Yeskie? This has to end and soon.

We’ve had several like that.

Because in high school these guys just three fast down the plate

They do that in college it gets hit 425 feet.,

So they are learning to pitch to spots.

Fragile and coddled private school minds

Remember, baseball players aren’t real athletes. It’s a skill game, not an athletic sport.

The best athletes match great physical traits with a hardened mentality, usually coming from having struggles in life.

That’s not most baseball players. Affluent sport

Google maps or Apple maps. Pretty much the same route any of the rest of us would take.

Because they throw hard with a ton of movement… Jacob Mayers has more walks than innings and he will eventually be a pro. If a guy like that figures things out at some point, he will be in the majors. Teams rather than then the guy who throws 88 but doesn’t give out free passes

What’s a picher?

Change up is the key…. If you can throw it for strikes with your fastball hitting spots…. No real need for a curve

Many talented pitchers never develop a feel for a good changeup. As time goes on and people throw harder and harder, coaches feel like talented arms throwing a changeup are doing the hitter a favor.

The issue with coming to a program like LSU as a pitcher is that the SEC isn't a developmental league. These coaches know they need to win, and you can't wait for a kid to struggle through developing secondary pitches for very long.
