If he's a lefty who can throw mid 80s he will get looks, he will get more looks if he goes after them.

Thanks!  Hope you're right.  Trying to figure all that out right now, and encouraging him to do it on his own.  I've always pushed him to do things himself.  So, it'll be up to him on how hard he wants to pursue this thing.

Unlikely, a rising senior in late July isn't getting looks at this point if coaches are not currently reaching out. If it doesn't happen the summer before their senior year it probably isn't happening.

A baseball game was violently interrupted when stray gunfire struck a coach, Texas officials say.

It happened the morning of Sunday, Sept. 21, at a baseball facility in Katy, according to a Facebook post from Waller County Emergency Medical Services.

A stray bullet hit the coach in the shoulder during a game at TheRac Baseball, EMS officials said, adding that “crews provided immediate care, and he was transported downtown by LifeFlight in stable condition.”

Video from the facility shows a helicopter lifting off from the outfield of a baseball diamond.

The bullet came from one or more individuals doing some “recreational shooting” on a nearby property, according to a statement by TheRac, saying local police were “immediately notified of the possible illegal hunting and responded to the scene.”

While police were responding, the coach was shot, according to facility staff.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family as he receives treatment for his injuries,” the statement read.

“The police have since apprehended the individuals in question,” it continued. “We are taking every step possible to ensure this does not happen again on our property.”

Here’s a new one for you all. Our coach was shot at the Rac in Katy this weekend.

The amount of gunfire I hear while at these ball fields each weekend is crazy. Down in Zorn there is always a neighbor shooting. Taylor a few weeks ago there were dove hunters shooting. Blackstar in Kyle and Westinghouse we have heard shooting almost every time. The most insane I have ever experienced was a tournament this last July 4th that we were moved to Prospect Hill in SA. The amount of gunfire made it feel like a war zone. 100's of shots mixed in with the fireworks. It is a miracle everyone made it out alive.
