Son is also a 2026 and at least some of the travel organizations do seem to care. The kids who hit harder, run faster, and throw harder are more closely looked at when team placement takes place - those kids are often placed on better teams that travel to more competitive/better tournaments. While the numbers are not everything, I can certainly understand why our players are getting a different message, in some cases.
My 2026 son is currently doing exactly what you are - working on getting bigger, stronger, and faster, as his travel organization does measure numbers and the high school coaches absolutely noticed the boys who were hitting well and very hard in preseason workouts. Keep up the hard work!
