Does anyone know the names of any major league players that NEVER played baseball in highschool?
My son is an awesome baseball player- and I am not saying this because I am his mom- he's incredible and I have never known anyone that has the heart for the game like he does- he has skill, talent and strength and has often been referred to as "the heart of the team". He has played baseball on summer leagues since he was age 5 and he is now 18 and a senior. We recently moved to a small town and he tried out for the highschool team- the only players who made the team were the ones from the previous year. The same players are chosen year after year. My son is beginning to feel discouraged and lose sight of his dream. I am hoping to find players in MLB that never played highschool ball to show him he can become the player he has dreamed of becoming as long as he doesn't let others steal his dream.
PLEASE HELP!
