Considering the following showcases/camps:
- Showball, ASBA Academic in July, Perfect Game Academic in FL, Duke's Camp in August, Baseball America (Top 96), maybe HF again on Long Island in Aug
Appreciate any thoughts from those who have been there before.

My son (2020 RHP) went to the Oct 2017 Duke camp. He enjoyed it and it was a great chance to see how a D1 athlete lives (my boy raved about the weight room), but it didn’t offer much in the way of exposure, Yes, coaches watch the games, but there are a lot of kids there with widely varying skill levels. Players do not get written evaluations or other formal feedback. For the money, it was a very good experience (we didn’t need plane tickets to get to Durham), but I wouldn’t think of it as an element of your recruiting strategy.
