Thanks for all of the perspectives shared about this. My kid has only done one showcase. It was at a P5 school. He did fine defensively but could not hit the ball off of machine pitch. That’s the laying an egg part as he’s usually a good hitter. I was actually surprised that they used machine for hitting. Never been a fan of it because it doesn’t replicate real pitching for a batter. I’ve since learned that those camps are basically a waste of time if your son wasn’t specifically invited to attend by the coaches at the school. After the camp I only saw one kid and his parent pulled aside by a coach and overheard them making plans for a return trip.
