The purpose of this coaching staff is to improve your
son as a baseball player and as a young man. While we
see baseball as being a great thing, we recognize that
there are standards that are much more important that
we need to teach and model. If your son doesn't live
up to those standards, they will know it. We will hold
your son accountable to these standards and do so in
an appropriate manner.
We recognize and want all parents to recognize the following
statistics: .00134 percent of high school baseball players
make to the major leagues for one full year. There are
roughly 700 major league jobs playing baseball. There
are roughly 13,722 high schools playing baseball in
the United States. There are over half a million high
school players in the country. Our job is not to make
your son one of those major league baseball players.
Our job is to bring a group of student-athletes together
as a team and to teach them valuable lessons using the
vehicle of baseball.
It is our responsibility to make decisions on playing
time, lineups, and strategy. The vast majority of these
decisions will be made as a group. There is a ton of
collaboration that goes into every decision that is
made on the baseball field. You see the result of those
thoughts and efforts. Sometimes people will disagree
with decisions that are made by coaches, but it is important
to recognize that the coaching staff will always work
to do what is best for our kids and their teams. Not
every player will get equal playing time, but every
player is equally important to the team's success. Each
member of the team needs to learn their role and perform
their part to the best of their ability. If we are to
achieve our goals, individually, and, more importantly,
collectively, a total and unselfish team effort is required.
