I honestly think we have not, nor will we ever, seen the greatest ballplayer ever.. I've seen many great ballplayers disappear, because of one dickhead, hotshot, coach. Usually at the freshmen level of high school. Too many coaches trying to be in with the cool crowd, play their friend's kids, or the highest paying booster's kids, at that level. Honestly, I think HS coaching around the country is pretty awful in that regard.. Probably one of the reason we don't see a good amount of American ballplayers nowadays..
In regards to Evan Gattis....I wouldn't be surprised if a d!ckhead coach was the reason he fell off the map for a while...
