Go with the flow.
An area scout simply scours his area and makes lists; he's ranking every draft eligible player in his area. So, that list may contain a hundred names (or more in baseball hot beds), yet only a couple will get the draft call (for many reasons).
The scout needs to see a player play as many times as possible - and the lists winnow down quickly once spring season begins.
(Make sure you're speaking about an Area Scout and not an Associate Scout; the former is paid by the MLB, the latter works for free. Associate scouts often are employed in the baseball field (think travel ball coaches) and may have dual loyalties (to make money for themselves as well as locate talent.))
And, I have learned that scouts do talk amongst themselves and assist each other in identifying talent.
If an area scout is speaking to his cross-checker or above, that's a good sign.
All that having been said, search through some draft threads to get a feel for the process. IF there is real interest, you can educate yourself before the insanity starts. Also remember that only about 400 HS kids are drafted each year, so this is a real longshot.
