@Dadof3 posted:When talking with a prospective coach/school, what does a recruit ask? What summer leagues are you associated with? How many kids on the team get placed on a summer team? How does the summer team work?
It all depends on the program. It should be discussed during recruiting.
The highest ranked players might end up on the cape, top ranked draft prospects may get a chance to try out for USA Baseball and many do take the summers off. Most coaches should have the discussion during recruiting and use it as a tool to get the player to their program and once again it's all relevant to the players skill. It's especially important for redshirt freshman to get out and play. And again, it does depend on coaching relationships with certain summer leagues.
I think that Momball now understands the process. They live in an area with an excellent summer league and her son wants to be close to home and for all of you that have players who go out of state, I am sure everyone gets that. She never mentioned anything about the Cape, so not sure why that was brought up.
The process also is obviously different for Juco vs D1, D2 players.
Here in Florida many of the Juco guys join travel teams to be seen by college coaches.
