Our high school coach has been involved with high level travel baseball for several years. He has basically come out and said to our parents and players that showcase baseball is a waste of time and money if you aren't on a program's 1 or 2 team. Maybe third team.
A good number of guys who played a professional travel schedule from 9-15 and then showcase ball are going to come away realizing that it did them very little good. Good showcase programs have 25 legit prospects that they actually work for and "help" with recruiting and 275 guys who pay for the directors to focus on the 25 prospects. People are figuring that out.
Maybe Little League weathers the storm and regains its footing and youth baseball becomes a game for kids again.
