I just want to add the value of networking. I have watched firsthand a connected "local guy" do MUCH more for local players than any showcase, national tournament, or college camps. Placing players with solid offers from NAIA to top D1 programs. As well as getting MLB scouts to watch players. A simple phone call from this "local guy" to a RC/scout and they are at the next game. These are seniors and juniors with little to no interest that have been to multiple showcase, national events, and college camps with little to no interest. A few phone calls from this "local guy," and they ALL have solid offers. The baseball community is tiny! They rely on these "local guys." Find that "local guy!" This guy is honest and tells the player where his talent/projection fits at the next level.
