Daily Log, Day 8 -- Congratulations to Tyler Vail...

Congratulations to LVBA 18u-Elite pitcher Tyler Vail for being named Rawlings Perfect Game 1st-team All-American...

Vail is a senior at Notre Dame (Green Pond) High School and he is to be commended for all the hard work he has put in over the past year-plus at the acdemy to raise his game to another level...

And Kudos to ND pitching coach Chris Parsell, who, instead of changing everything the LVBA Staff did with Vail to help get him to the level he is at now, Parsell turned Vail completely over to our pitching instructor and is allowing LVBA to lay out pitch counts and evrything else that is necessary to help Vail develop to his full potential, rather than just allowing the head coach to just throw Vail out there and throw 120+ pitches a game (like many high school coaches do) in an attempt to win meaningless high school games, which do virtually nothing to enhance the collegiate/professional status or advance the development of an individual player for the next level...

Parsell "gets it"...

Most high school pitching coaches don't get it as they think reading books or going to clinics at Cherry Hill somehow makes them an authority or some kind of expert...

LVBA wishes Tyler the best of luck in his upcoming high school season...
