Of course it is true that what happens in games counts the most. But obviously it is not always possible to observe certain things in games, which is why showcases video and measure times in simulated circumstances.
But my question is: why don't showcases such as PG have a batter swing in the box or in other ways make the simulation more game like? Seems like an easy thing to do, and it would prevent the sort of anticipation and bad fundamentals that I saw on those videos.
That's why I asked if scouts take those pop-times seriously, or if they dismiss them knowing that the kid is "gaming' the simulation.
Being involved with college scouting, I thought I'd ask you.
