Rare, but stuff like that happens. Mark Burhle, of CWS fame, a 4 time all-star who has thrown a perfect game and a no hitter, attended a local HS here in eastern MO and was cut his soph year. He was an average HS pitcher in his varsity years, but hooked onto a juco where it all came together and the rest is history.

Sometimes kids just don't develop athletically till later and show their true potential.
