It's alright, guys. Saw "Star Dad" in another forum asking some pretty legit questions pertaining to baseball. I think he's legit.. sorry, didn't mean to "hoodwink" you, Star Dad. My son's a Pac-10 NLI guy. Welcome aboard HSSBW!

Thanks BUM, Sorry I thought your son is in HS. What's the best baseball school in the PAC-10? I saw the college ranking this year, there's not many ranked high. I did some research and found out USC used to be pretty good. If you want a Ivy-league like degree, Stanford is the best choice. How is the team of Washington St? My plan for my son is go to west coast for his college year if he is not good enough to be drfated from HS. I would like him to play for the SF Giant as a Pro, nothing particular, just for the nice weather there. I hate the hot weather here in Missouri, So Arizona will not be a choice for his college year.
Sorry, I forget the Back to back NCAA champion Oregon St. Because I don't have plan for my son to go to that school, thus I always forget about it. Is Oregon rainning everyday?

That's pretty good odds than buying a lottory tickets. Right?

"he is the Star player in every level he played, I am expecting he be drafted from high school after 4 years"
Stardad,
Well then high school is where the cream rises to the top (if you will). but in the meantime, enjoy your son's high school years, they go very quickly. He needs to keep his grades up and work hard on and off the field. Every scout/college recruiter that ever spoke to us or our son always without a doubt asked about his grades first and foremost. Also, so many things can change from his freshman year to his senior year. As a freshman it's way to early to decide pro or college. Your son can have dreams of becoming a professional baseball player and it needs to be his dream, because on those days that he has been out there playing everyday away from home with only 3 days or less off a month, or he is not feeling well that day and still needs to get out there, it has to come from within him to keep on going. Good Luck

Peace!

It might surprise you to know San Francisco is the coldest major city in America in the Summer. There is very little rain in Oregon in the Summer.. it'll be 83-85 there and 68 in San Francisco.

I really like the 68 degree weather. If you live in MO, you will know how hot and humid here in the summer. In this summer we got 105 degree with 115 heat index for almost 2 weeks. Man, it was hot.
