You would be shocked to know that even pitchers who make it all the way to the major leagues also walk people.

How can the number 1 rated HS player not throw a strike?

Most of them can at least find the plate with a GPS.

It’s almost like standing on a mound by yourself in front of 12,000 people who hate you has an effect


Not to mention that a mistake of just an inch or two could put the game out of reach

Because you are avoiding hitters that have made it to the same level of baseball. It is not rocket science.

Watch out you’ll get the same douche bags from yesterday defending this kid like thread I posted about how he’s regressed and wasn’t the player we thought.

No it wasn’t.

The hitters in college are good enough to foul his pitches that were outs in high school. Eventually he walked.
