Alright fellas...here's the scoop. My friends son wants to start playing baseball, go out for his college team etc. He wants to be a pitcher. Now he wants to help his son out and get him a personal trainer and asked me if it's worth it. I really don't know what to say so I'm coming here. I know we have some former athletes and coaches on here. Give me some advice to relay the message.
Much Appreciated. 
Never played competitively before.
I'll add this to the list.
"hack ass goon"? 
And for what it's worth...he has time to build. He's starting at a community school down here in Georgia and plans to transfer to Kennessaw St. Someone in the recent draft was in the top 15 from there (don't know the name). But hey...if your stuff is nasty enough, you can make it anywhere. I guess he's going to have to get a good trainer.
He's not in shape though, but he has a ton of heart and pride and would work harder than anyone. But look at CC...if you have nasty stuff...you don't need to be fit. 
Don't know that one. I would assume starter but I'm not sure. And forget Gregg. Lets talk about Zumaya. If you can throw 100+...who needs accuracy? 
does the kid have any athletic ability? why at the age of 18 does someone decide that they want to play baseball? what has he been doing all of this time?
if he is not at least 6 foot he will not pitch anywhere after college and that is if get to pitch in college. to be a decent college pitcher he will need command of at the least 2 pitchs(fastball, curve, slider, change up) most college guys have atleast 3 out of 4 if not all four. most important does he have a live arm?
unless he is a freak or a potential project(6'4 225lbs, throwing high 80's to low 90's) i dont see him making the team.

Most athletes are naturals, his abilities will stand out to any coach worth his salt. Trying is the important part.
