That's a good idea! Applaud you for your creativity and assertiveness, wish I had thought of it. Son decided not to do the max effort throw on Day 1 @ HF this time. Said he felt it a little on Day 2. He is a 2 way player so he'll hit and take ground balls Day 1, just not the radar gun throw. Also doing the Brown camp Aug 12. 

The way HF works, as described to me by a coach, is the D1 radar stats are shared to all coaches the night after D1.  If the numbers are good, coaches will then go watch that player on D2.  If you skip the radar, you may be missing an opportunity to be seen.  Food for thought....

The max effort throw is for position players, right?

In my son's experience, the radar readings -- and a scouting report written by the assigned coach -- was shared with all the coaches after Day 1, but the radar readings were from the 1 inning thrown on Day 1. Of course, the scouting report/radar is not shared with the players (or parents!) but sometimes a coach in the dugout will tell a kid what it said -- at least that is what happened in my son's case.
