They have all their best pitchers, and those are three starters, but all are just starting their junior years, and while they are talented, not necessarily their three best players right now.

 

Springer and Evasco are a year older and more developed. And adding back Clementi after his 1st year of college is huge.

 

My son pitched against them last summer, and Springer was a beast then. I can't believe he doesn't have high major offers.

Isn't there high school NIL money for that?

Even with the Carpetland sponsorship, families have to pay several hundred dollars just to be on the team. They also have to pay for bats and gloves and most of them pay for private pitching and/or hitting lessons because high school coaches spend minimal time coaching skills. East cuts 50+ kids every year, so that's what it takes to make the team.

 

I know all this because my son began at East and transferred to Northeast. 

 

The only high school kid I've ever heard of to get NIL in Lincoln is Malachi Coleman, so the answer is very likely no for these kids. Certainly it would be minimal at best for baseball players, and three of those boys in the lineup last night were playing only because of the three that chose the prospect showcase that made them ineligible.

Well Dadgumit.  Well done lads.

 

They did a bit better than we did when Jayschool and I played ball at East.  Although we did make it to state and should have won our first game.
