Agree with this 100%. In fact the better IL programs participative in a league with the Hitters. Many of them will work to get their kids playing in the Hitters spring league if they are not playing for their HS. If your kid plays for Sparks, Long Shots, 29ers, ABarn, ACE or Elite you will find that you play a lot of games up at the parks the Hitters use. Great program for the top players in the area.
Slammers should be thrown in that mix, they've come a long way since the split with Top Tier. Of which Top Tier should be included as well. RJ Fergus with Hitters is in a different "league" with the network he's created, and he literally, will pick up the phone on players behalf. He'll actually initiate contact with college coaches and MLB Scouts.
