WWBA is a great organization but one should know that the BIG boys are there. Your coach is very key. At each event, WWBA asks your coach to list the top 3-4 players to look at. Pitchers are the attraction. Players that can rake are next. Remember that everyone swings wood so standing out as a hitter is a tough. Infield arms get noticed.

Midlo's son is a very good player. Big, throws hard..quite a presence. At WWBA, you'll see a handful like him and that's what attracts the scouts. I have said many times, if you're on a team with exceptional players, that's a huge advantage at WWBA. That good player that gets overlooked has leg up if he plays with the likes of Stadler, Mayers and Roberts.

I agree with Midlo on the DIII vs. DI when it comes to BIV. Players get tons of looks from good DIII teams there. You'll see Virginia DI's there but if you're looking for Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn...go WWBA.

In conclusion, MANY very good players go to WWBA and get lost in the crowd. Why? Lots of very good players. No detraction from there abilities but it's the nature of those events. Good luck in your decision. I would simply suggest honest reflection on abilities.
