"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I always wondered why kids continue to play travel ball after securing Division I scholarships. Some players receive the offers around the 10th grade. Makes no sense to risk your future after getting one.

I wonder if the rate of TJ surgery is higher for guys who grew up in FL and Ca than it is for northern tier guys who have tht forced winter exile.

I'm with you in wondering what the data supports.
A side note, though: Tommy John was from Terre Haute.

Seems like a reasonable thought anyway...

It does. Now it needs to be studied scientifically to see if the clinical hunch is true.

An opportunity for Raisor to pick up another Nobel?
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I'm sure Raisor has the abstract written already.
It's because offers are not guarantees. A high-school prospect doesn't actually sign the NLI until November of his senior year. Up until then, the school can pull an offer at any time if they find someone they like more, which could happen if a kid drops out of the travel circuit, which would be seen as a negative. You know how baseball attitudes can be.

Most baseball scholarships are not FULL scholarships and, especially if they are being offered in the 10th grade, they usually don't specify how much you're getting. They have to split up the 11.7 scholarships they're allowed amongst as many players as possible (hint: less to the freshmen). They are also 1 year scholarships so there is no guarantee you can stay on for 4 years.
If someone actually secured a full 4-year ride in 10th grade, then that kid should also be considering going straight to pro ball because it is RARE.
Bottom line is you have to keep working to get better and get playing time ASAP in college or you will get run over for playing time and eventually scholarship money.

I can whip one up in 30 minutes.
30 minutes? You're losing your touch.
That includes a 28 minute lunch
Sounds more realistic.
