Yes area code nomination and participation was very cool, but like PABASEBALL mentioned....not the tryout you'd expect or team selection criteria.

My son was nominated and went this past summer and the ONLY pitchers they kept were "any" kid throwing 90 or faster. Control didn't matter. One kid sailed on into the net at 92 and they said. "OK" and kept him. Other kids couldn't throw a strike and they were kept. Once they threw 90+. My son threw darts and topped at 88-89. Didn't make it. Worked out in the end for him anyway.

Heard the scrimmage was horrible given they recruited gas and not control.

We're passing this year. Which is fine. He's not chasing the draft or interested but it would have been cool to play in CA in the AreaCode Tourney and exposure for sure.
