Take a look at Dylans last start - a playoff game at the AA level. The numbers you seem to scoff at, from low A, were still against players that are much older than Dylan is. Akron, the team Dylan breezed through in the AA playoffs, as a 19 year old, is much better than any college baseall team in the country. JDS, baseball isnt for everyone, I'm certain you'll find something you're more suited to evaluate properly. Best of luck.
