High school baseball can be a challenging time for a young athlete, especially freshmen and sophomores, many of whom are still trying to make the adjustment to the full-sized field and the faster pace of the high school game.
Each spring, Professional Baseball Instruction offers the High School Spring Instructional Team. The existence of this program is to help players who did not make the cut for their 2013 high school roster. All players are welcome – freshmen thru seniors.
This is a great opportunity for cut players to improve upon their skills, especially for freshmen, or older players who were borderline cuts. These are the players who could return next year to become a contributing factor to their school’s program.

Here is a good story, Our Grandson has played baseball since he was let’s say 5 . He played travel ball ,etc, Made it on his high school team JV, as a freshman, as the Shortstop, got the Golden glove award at the end of year, Moved up, played Varsity last three games when JV ended. He again played summer league, he just tried out (he is a soph)just now for High school team, He is just a tad under 6ft, and yes, skinny at 16 .Needs to build up which will happen ,he is a “late Bloomer” just like his uncles, grandfather and dad,But he is agile, quick, has good hand to eye coordination, just not as muscular as others … . He didn’t make varsity but all the other 18 U did he played summer ball with did,, the coach has him back on JV at Short stop, He, the coach says he wants him not to be a bench warmer and while some of the other boys will be back up and possibly never play , The coach wants him to actually play every game to keep his skills and all up, and . to truly keep his skills. Tell this to a 16 yr old, He is embarrassed… Yippee! the parents get to deal with this, As his friends move to varsity.. Bench warmers or not.. I think it is baloney.. and since he ran the fastest time of Any player be it Freshman, Soph. Junior or senior ,Varsity or JV .. I think He should go run track “to keep his skills up”go They like skinny kids, and come back next year after you “mature” some more.. What do you say?Is the Coach correct??? Just a question since he is truly devastated right now.
