Reply to "Do Scouts value HS baseball enough for a player to toil In a bad program"

Son played HS in Newport Rhode Island (fog , wind, rain). Pro Scouts saw him on the Summer Curcuit and attended every game and his Soccer and Ice Hockey games from time to time prior to the season. 

He loved his HS teams and players have attended his college games as supporters and hecklers.

He played in SEC and did not sign when drafted out of HS.

The scouts will come, they must come, if the player is considered a "prospect."  Scouts don't just mull around HS games searching for prospects anymore. They scout the big events and create a "Follow" list.

I Recall a scout telling my son, " You'll never see 78 (mph) again."  

Play HS for the fun and enjoyment and future HS Alumni events. Best memories your have.

Play summer with the right team (might not be the area Travel team), and the chances of being seen by scouts is immeasurable.
