That may be what you are use to, but that never has to be the case. A good coach can implement a system from middle school on up or even little league on up, that will develop players. If you have, or are, a coach that simply waits for talent then you need to get out of the game. The reality you describe is a sad situation.

Both of you are right, baseball isn't a game that's learned in just a couple years. It's not raw emotion and strength like football. But, small schools and even big schools go through cycles and that's just the reality of high school sports, especially in south east Kentucky.

As far as the middle school program being down, it is, and has been. Not that they haven't won many games it's just the kids aren't learning the game correctly and when they come to high school they're not ready.
