My son is a 2012 LHP who has gotten some good exposure this fall. As a result, he is receiving a lot of contact from schools many of which are sending him invites to their prospect camps this winter. We need some advice on how important attending these camps are in the recruiting process? We are concerned about allowing him a rest period from throwing before he begins training for the upcoming high school season. This is the first time he hasn't played football in the Fall and typically used the football season as his "off season" from baseball to get his arm rested. Since he didn't do that this year, we want to make sure he gets rested, but also don't want to portray that we aren't interested in the schools that are looking at him if he doesn't attend their camp. What do you all recommend?
