Big, Good points. I have my own ideas on being seen by scouts......not the college coaches, but pro scouts. Up until 10-12 years ago, scouts covered summer ball like a glove, and the prospects were not missed. When the showcases started and then became quite popular, teams started having their scouts cover the minor leagues in the summer and then go to the better showcases to see the HS players. So today, a player needs to go to a good showcase during the summer or he may not be seen. During the HS season as you mentioned, players will be noticed if they are on a team with a a player who has been indentified as a prospect. I used to see about a 100 summer games, and now I just see the top showcases in my area and maybe 5-6 summer games because I am covering 10-12 minor league teams.
