My brother just started his freshman year in HS here in FL, and I'm seriously disappointed at the level of specialization they are putting these kids through. He plays in Merritt Island, and never plays the field or hits because he's a pitcher. He's got a good stroke and plays the field well, better than a couple of the position players on the team, but he's a good pitcher, so that's all his coaches will let him do. At 15 yrs old, he should be playing both ways and not getting stuck in a specific role.
He pitched the first game of the season and went 5 IP, 8 K, 2 BB, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER for the JV squad (no freshman on the varsity team at this school).
