The least expensive way to get your name out there is to go to a MLB tryout. They are free! You might have to drive somewhere, but no overnight type travel. Going to one is good, but going to several is better. Some of these Tryouts will have college coaches in attendance. Make sure the player has some tools, running especially, because that is usually the first thing that will separate one player from the next. Some Tryouts will have you do more than others. I've actually seen some where they send half the kids home after they run the 60. Others will have you do everything. It's all about tools!

Often we here about kids that stood out at Pro tryouts. It can lead to lots of things in some cases. Again, most important... They are FREE! If money is an issue, you should take advantage of the tryouts run by ML organizations.

Best of Luck
