I know most people say its not, but BF called me 3-4 times and told me that they couldn't invite my son if they didn't see him. They gave us several options that he could get to but we were in playoffs. His pitching coach who also used to work for PBR also thought we should try to get to one of the showcases to get the invite. We couldn't make it work. I will say that most of the guys that did make it are guys he has played with at other invite only things and he legitimately would have been in the mix so I think it matters. Maybe just wishful thinking.
Agree with this about getting in their database for consideration for the UA game at Wrigley. Or on a lesser scale, if you did want to try for an invite for the pre-season All American games in Arizona (which do seem to still have a little bit of that money grab feel. But dang do they get a bunch of sweet gear and get treated well) I would say that if that is a goal of your player, it's not a bad idea for the lowest level showcase. Especially if you have not done a showcase before and just trying to get some measurables you can use.
