When are we going to get away with spring baseball in the lower classes. Only 9 teams in Class c have a winning record that are in districts!!!! Smh

We just added class C baseball 3 years ago. It's about providing an opportunities for kids! You complain about the records, yet we've had 5 schools add baseball and more adding it next year. Kids have made a push to add baseball in their schools because there are many that want to play, for them it's about the opportunity.

Scheduling in baseball is tough. When a school doesn't have developed pitchers it's hard for them to compete in four games a week. They don't have to do that but most will some weeks. Go look at those class B schools that are around .500 and how many of them beat the class C schools you speak of to be over .500?

We have multiple classes in football...hell we just added a 3rd class of 8 man so that the numbers are close because a class being too wide from biggest to smallest isn't fair. Why should baseball be different?

It’s called amateur sports. Not every team can be undefeated. I think it’s great that they have this opportunity for the boys wanting to play baseball. Maybe if we can take the emphasis off of records and put it on teaching the kids, and let’s remember that these are still kids, then sports in general will be a better place for kids to be.

 

[Mr. Irrelevent]

Also for the record, the team that is the current back to back state champions and #1 seed going into districts is the 4th smallest school in the state. Their last loss in a post season elimination game was against Elkhorn North if I'm not wrong...a school 5.7 times bigger than they are. Can you imagine the outrage in football if this were the case....

The outrage of a small school beating a large school in football? I guess I'm not following your point here.

I count 10 teams with winning records, so 40%. With a quick glance, D2 boys basketball had about 38% of teams with a winning record, does that mean we should get rid of that?

I just wish baseball was in the summer because it hurts track numbers.

Get rid of Legion and play the season over the summer. I know, AD's would hate it, but gives kids the opportunity to do both.

Getting rid of Legion Baseball is without a doubt one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard. The kids already have the opportunity to do both and I believe that the kids playing high school baseball wouldn’t be interested in doing track anyway.

Also, talk to coaches.... Iowa is beginning more and more to hate summer baseball and softball. From what I've heard is it's harder for kids to get recruited, as college coaches aren't recruiting high school ball in the summer.

I believe you are confused by my post. I'm mentioning the last time Malcolm (4th smallest school with baseball) lost an elimination game in high school baseball, it was to Elkhorn North. If we expected Malcolm and Elkhorn North (or schools with similar size dispartity) to compete in the same class in football it would be outrage

I think overall this would be bad for not only baseball but multiple sports. We already compete for kids time in the summer with basketball camps, football camps, summer leagues. Now try to throw in a vacation. Baseball is best in the spring.
