Anyone know of a connection between Detroit Tigers SP Tarik Skubal and BYU?

He is LDS.

This is an anecdotal example of why I'm not on team "it's too cold to recruit the better players to BYU"

He’s from Kingman AZ and had one D1 offer. This isn’t a huge recruiting miss.

I argue that while it can be beneficial to focus on players with many offers as a sign of quality, it is

Or maybe he had a spurt and got significantly better and Seattle U got lucky

Or maybe this is an anecdotal example as I expressed earlier.

Well if it is a BYU miss, it is a miss by every other school in D1 college baseball...

I hate the argument that it wasn’t a miss when he was actually elite

Fair enough, but it was a miss for hundreds of other programs too.

True, but BYU was his dream offer

Sorry, this is not Make-a-Wish, it's D1 baseball.

You’re saying Skubal was a make a wish candidate?

He was so elite 350+ college coaches also passed on him.

It’s highly probable that most teams don’t scout that area

He also played for a tiny school.

Of course I would love to have coaches that can perfectly project every player’s

There are common traits in those players that exceed their recruiting profile

Can you tell me about where it was so I can watch it? Which inning? Or pregame?
dYrtbYkerYder

Looks like the 3rd inning maybe? Braves telecast.

Skubal family is LDS, in Kingman, AZ. Served in his ward

He threw T max 83 mph the summer after his junior year. No D1 program missed on
Uno Doctoro

I'm quite sure in retrospect almost all D1 programs would have taken him

Problem is that baseball recruiting today is almost always based upon measurable
Uno Doctoro

That shouldn’t be the end of the analysis

Jun 20, 9:17am
No it’s not. How many kids that throw 83 max end up being good?

We all know that most 17 year olds need to fill out

Seattle took him because they took what they could get. I doubt their coaches

There was a very large gap of he was as a prospect and his MLB peak self
donnerstag
Jun 20, 10:39am
So you say this and then 2 minutes later say he was an elite prospect?
molodyets
Jun 20, 12:20pm
Based on his ceiling, he was an elite prospect
