re: How many games would an elite high school all star team win in the MLB?

quote:

---

Just in the past few years, Bryce Harper, Strassburgh, Mike Trout, Mike Stanton, Jayson Heyward

---

Harper, Strasburg and Trout are once-in-a-lifetime type talents and Stanton has a very developed adult body for his age. They are the exceptions to the rule. As for Heyward, he had a big-time sophomore slump in 2011 hitting only .227 with a .708 OPS. In 2012, he struck out 158 times and only had a .335 OBP. He's gone through plenty of growing pains like most players of his age group go through.

Obviously, but they're still pro players.
Listen, I'm not saying the high school guys are anywhere close to the same level as the pros. But it's 162 games in a sport that is all about hand eye coordination and timing. They would win a few games just bc they'd run into some fastballs, a pitcher would be off his stuff, and a team would have a bad hitting game or hit a bunch of balls right at people

The college team might be lucky enough to have 1 pitcher that will get a chance to pitch in the big leagues

Right bc most of the "can't miss" prospects go straight to the pros out of high school, and are the guys I'm talking about

The pitchers at the big league level wouldn't have to throw a fastball. They'd hook ball you, throw pitches of caliber you've never seen before at a high school level, and play mind games with you.

Back when I played I took listens from a guy that played half a season with the Cubs and came out of the pen before getting hurt and ending his career. He faced Adam Dunn one day in his first week called up. Adam Dunn got a fastball from him at 94 mph and swung late. The pitcher decided to try again and he threw 94 mph by him again with Dunn being way late. He chose to throw another 94 mph 0-2 fastball and Dunn took it 450 ft to dead center, winked, and smiled at the pitcher as he left to trot around the bases.

These are the type of guys you are dealing with here. Baseball is majority mental and a high school team has zero ability to play on the level of an MLB team.

Are you trolling?

This shouldn't even be a discussion.

It's not inconceivable that a good college team is capable of stealing a win from a MLB team every now and then.

That's possible. I'll concede you that. Back to the original topic.

a team of all bregmans would go undefeated in the mlb

Have you ever even met a Zen master?

Yeah.. gtfo.

By pros you mean rookie ball and even then majority of those guys fail to get to the next level. Realize that there are 50 rounds of picks each year for MLB teams... and 99% of those picks turn out as busts.

Ok yea, so out of the 25 of the best of the best high school players in the world. All will get drafted, probably what 3-5 will make it to the bigs, maybe 1-2 will end up as really good players.

You don't think a team with 15 A caliber players, 5 AA-AAA caliber players, and 5 MLB caliber players could win 1 game in the MLB?

The answer is zero. Then when they are all a year older in the next season the answer is likely still zero. By the third season, they may be able to win 10 games or so..
