Answers:
Who do you think is the sexiest Detroit Baseball Player?
Absolutely I'd go straight for the contract. I'd want Scott Boras as my agent cause he gets his guys ALOT of money.But then of course you'd have to bide your time in the minors until the big club feels like you're mature enough as a player to be called up.
Where as in college you've got the world by the balls.
Though some teams, prefer college pitchers over high schoolers, as they are more considered to be more refined, players.
The more I think about it, I'd go to school, you have a chance to play ball, a relatively high level of competition, (assuming it's a NCAA school or what have you), and you get an education, probably a scholarship.
Which is always important if your baseball dream fails, you've got something to fall back on.
So I'd take college.
Why do pitchers sit alone when they r throwing a no hitter?
Yeah, go for it.Who was the shortest baseball player ever?
If you like sports & most of all baseball, yeah go for it. Make sure it's what you want to do cause there is alot of hard work into it. Alot of practice & fitness involved. I played softball for 5 years & that was alot of work let alone be a mlb player. If you can handle hot days, lots of running, & can focus good yes go for it. Just make sure to drink plenty of fluids, gat. watoer or propel. Good luck!When doe a baseball pitcher get a save opprotunity?
School first.Only a small percentage of players who were drafted out of high school ever make it to the show, and most of them get only a cup of coffee. And you wouldn't be offered a contract to pitch in the majors, but one to pitch in rookie ball or possibly in A ball. Coming out of high school, you'd never start at even teh AA level. The percentages out of college are a bit better, but not much.
Besides, if you're a good enough player to be drafted out of high school, you should be good enough to be offered at least a partial ride by any school. That means it's not an either/or choice.
A degree gives you a lot more opporunities in life than does an expired contract and an old glove.
Honestly.
Go to college, than pursue your career in baseball.
If you go play baseball and it doesn't work out right or you don't like it, you'll have something to fall-back.
You can also develop your pitching skills in College, Stanford is a pretty good baseball school.
What is the most important adjustment in your swing, switching from baseball to softball?
Be smart and go to college first. The advantages are several: (1) You'll get an education so you'll be able to earn a living when you're not playing baseball; (2) College ball will allow you to develop at a pace more appropriate for your age; there's no pressure to be better than your age will allow; (3) A successful college career will get you a better offer from the majors.Here in Maine, I can think of three pitchers who exemplify the above. The first, Billy Swift, had the option of leaving college to turn pro. He stayed in college and went on to have a successful career with the Mariners and Giants.
Two others have not fared so well. The first is Matt Kinney. He was drafted by the Red Sox out of high school. He chose the Sox over the University of Maine. The Sox traded him later to the Twins, who gave Kinney a shot in the majors. Kinney struggled and his career is done.
The second is Mark Rogers. He blew everybody away in Maine high school and chose to turn pro instead of go to college. His career is in jeopardy after he injured his arm and missed most of last season. He wasn't pitcing well in "A" ball anyway.
In both the Kinney and Rogers cases, I think their inability to go straight from high school ball to the pros and be successful hurt them psychologically. If they had played college ball, they would have gradually developed not only their physical skills, but their mental skills as well.
When you ask a high school kid to jump straight to pro ball, you're asking him to go from having an 18-year-old psyche to having a 24-year-old's psyche. Very few 18-year-olds are that mature.
Which AL Player will have the most stolen bases from 4/9-4/15?
Depends if you would want an education, or make money in the MLB...there's plenty to be had. There's a kid from my area who started opening scouts eyes at an early age, and he trained everyday for 5 years to get a MLB contract. He didn't go out, party, have any fun...he just trained. Now would you do that if you could be guaranteed that kind of money? Personally, I would go for the contract just because it's guaranteed money and I love playing baseball.How do you throw a good curveball?
I would because you can always go to college after you get out of the MLB. It is almost better that way though because then you could possibly have more money for college and possibly the contract could include college benefits money. Therefore, I would sign for the contract.Good luck!
