°I5~I The three basic principles a scout looks for in a young baseball prospect are: • Running ability • Throwing ability • Hitting ability. Temperament and character also come in for consideration among the young players. To become a great ball player, naturally the prospect must be able to do everything well, However, some players are able to make the big time with ability only in two of the above mentioned. In the final analysis — it is the prospect himself who determines his future in baseball. Physical fitness is a necessity, but the incentive to improve on his own natural ability is the key to his future success. Compliments of .
