The mind of a baseball scout: ??
I'm sure we all know a few locally. fairly sure i've seen a few at U14 games. a couple I bet post on this very forum.
Talented and knowledgeable baseball men for sure who know their stuff and great for our local game.
But what do they look for in the younger age groups ? and is it relevant by the time these kids are 17+
Base speed, bat head speed, arm speed, power or body size ??
just what are they looking for ??
I'm guessing the scouts are looking at projected physical size and baseball brains at the U14 age group.Bat speed. arm speed.
Just wondering how does a scout project 12 and 13 year old stud players when it can all change so quick during the fuzz over years.
