re: Annual Official LA HS Baseball Season-long Thread

Eagles have a very deep pitching staff this year. Winning a three game series against Parkview will be very difficult. Only question mark for them is if they can score enough runs.

75 percent of all these players stuff for the last 3-4 years is online. Why the need to scout?


Ain’t the same

A lot of teams scout. If Benoit doesn’t have someone at some games I’d be surprised. He came up under Cazeaux who I know for a fact would have people watching games. Sometimes the assistant and sometimes just trusted eyes. He also kept a spread chart on every single batter from every single game.

yup

I remember everyone blew smoke up their arse when they were #5 last year... Didn't make it to state...

Alot of teams scout throughout the year and espically with the playoffs. I attended a few games in the last 2 weeks of watching my kids play and others within the area, I can tell you I seen coaches from Mandeville at Hahnville/Neville Series, I seen St. Charles Catholic at Pope/Newman, I seen Cath Br at Jesuit/St Pauls. If you have the chance to learn more about your opponnet and in first hand, trust me if you got enough guys on the coaching staff to help you out, lots of schools will do it.

It’s easy to contact the coach of your playoff opponent’s divisional rival and get a wealth of info too.

seems this is the predominant method.

I thought it was weird when I saw West Monroe people at Suarez… well look what they did us lol

It was the pitching coach. No hitter and a 2 hitter. Looks like he needs to be the guy to scout weekly.

I remember chatting w a wm “guy” on sidelines at a catholic league teams semifinal in 97….

He had a good line “men how did Jesuit beat this team” Response we stil trying to figure that out…. As wm was up on J 35-0…. I think shows or aldredge said that Shaw line was best he had seen
