don't jack off between starts if you are a starter--it saps your energy.

Continue to do what you are currently doing...dont change for the scouts... a change could effect the way you play and also change their views...
It seems you have some decent stats for pitching and batting... you have the speed to overcome the lack of power... so maybe you could be a position player? so dont drop it because someone is looking at you for pitching...
once you get to college they will "assign" you to a position... so you will either pitch or play a position (or both? ) ... but wait until you get an offer before you change...and let the coaches (college) help you with your decision...
me personally... I would work on both... never take away an option... you never know when that elbow will blow out.
Also, like the last poster said... make sure you get an education... always have something to fall back on just in case you get hurt.

Scouts evaluate talent and POTENTIAL. You will get physically larger, ideally gaining strength and retaining speed. Some colleges have pitchers who can pinch hit, or back up a position, to get their bat in the line-up. If you throw LH, you have more promise as a pitcher, and no chance at catcher, 3B, or SS. Let the scouts tell you where they see your best opportunity to be. Work on all aspects of your game to be a well-rounded player. Keep your legs strong and arm sound: they are needed for any position you play. Good luck on getting a scholarship!!

Depends on whether you're a lefty or a righty. I'd would stick with pitching because it's easier to prove yourself as a pitcher. If you want to be a outfielder/infielder, then work on speed, arm, power. If you want to be a pitcher, work on your fastball. What's your 40 time? What is your swing like? The scouts will look for these raw attributes more so than your stats. Your pitching seems to be up to par. Make sure you work on your fastball though. It's the one thing that can really get you drafted, that and speed of course.

i'm going to provide you fairly help. I performed severe college baseball. you may make a solid severe college group, and make a minimum of JV or varsity as a freshman and sophomore. Like somebody else has pronounced, the scouts will come to you. you're too youthful maximum suitable now, yet shop working. stay in shape, if it somewhat is any subject. Play on your severe college group and additionally play on a return and forth ball group. shop in properly practice and you may get your throwing velocity as much as eighty mph via the time you're a freshman is the suitable thought. that's all right once you're a sophomore and you eventually hit eighty however. you may pass play in tournaments. come across an area baseball experience for severe college age communities and return and forth ball communities. Scouts pass look at those tournaments, and while you're solid, one would or would possibly no longer touch you. yet you definitely need to stand out. maximum possibly you isn't contacted till college. while you're solid adequate in the process severe college, you will get letters from solid baseball faculties. Getting a scholarship for baseball is a huge thank you to get observed via scouts.

I'm not a Baseball scout but I'm good at math.
You are one of the top 20 pitchers in the State, we have fifty states in our country and 20 countries with 100 pitchers who have better stuff. 1/3000 chance to get a job pitching.
Spend more time researching colleges with baseball teams(even historically Black colleges) and get a free ride through College, while playing baseball.

I think you know the answer to your own question. If scouts are looking at you for your pitching, than of course you should be working on your pitching. If they are looking to see if you can get hitters out they are not going to care if you get a base hit up the middle but can't get anybody out.
