Reply to "Area Code Tryout"

GHHS pretty much covered it.Not sure I can add much. Yes, It's a lot of waiting around. Hitters get looks first as far as the schedule goes. It's BP for several hours then the pitchers go. As was mentioned earlier just one inning. Before the pitchers throw they throw a bullpen. You'll see 6-7 MLB scouts relaxing in fold up chairs by the bullpen but not too many college RC's. However, when they hit the mound and face live hitters....it's ON. Guns up Guns down....Like a greek chorus. Area Code games like most showcases for pitchers is about the Velo. A guy can BB 2 and hit a guy but if he hits 92 Scouts/RC's  are frantically taking notes. Conversely, a RHP can strike out the side But if he's doing it at 85....the Scouts are yawning or looking at their iphones.

Westmont College is a nice facility but parking is lean so get there early. It's a first class event. Arguably the most prestigious event of the summer.
