No one who involved in the college recruiting process attends Legion where my son grew up in the NW suburbs of Philadelphia. The level of play is very weak. The better players play travel/showcase ball. My son played Legion after senior year to play with his high school teammates one last time. He called the pitching batting practice. He didn't see 82+ until sections.quote:Originally posted by wogdoggy:
I like legion ball,,why? Because a GREAT percentage of today's pros have played legion ball.
It's CHEAP,400 bucks for a season they pay hotels and food,
you play in the same COMPETITIVE tournaments with the same scouts from the same school that the "showcase" teams do.
the local newspapers tend to cover legion ball,which is good for the player and community
fantastic support .
When I had a 16u travel team with mostly fifteen year olds (most playing some level of college ball now) the Legion team declined to play us. We would have annihilated them. All our pitchers were at 80+. Only two or three on the Legion team were at 80+.
