There is a link to the profile page (application) under the Q&A section.

Saw that Root.  Looking for personal experiences; I've learned there is a Chicago Scouts Association that manages a lot of this, however, they seem to only extend invites to kids that have played on 3-4 teams within their Fall program that started with them as Freshman.   I've seen these kids play, my son played against them, and there were hardly any standouts.

So, I'm trying to learn more about the process.  At a minimum we'll fill out the application and include video, but normally someone needs to nudge the application along for any of these invite events.  Gathering info to help the kid.

Thanks

My son went through recruiting process as a 2016. He is now playing at a D1 in the south.He was invited by the Milwaukee Brewers to area code try-outs both as a rising Jr and rising Sr.

I understand how you feel about the sort of ambiguity that goes with how kids are selected. My understanding is that the main thing is being referred by a MLB scout. It's listed in the questionnaire at the website .

My son played on a national travel team that was ran by a MLB scout and had done individual instruction w/ another. That's how he got the invite.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
