Reply to "NYCBL -- Current thoughts?"

This is a small summer league that won't provide any exposure to pro scouts.  Not much exposure to college scouts either, unless your'e looking to transfer to local programs in NY or PA.   Attendance at the games is very small with some exceptions.  You could end up playing in front of a few dozen people at some of the venues. Or a few hundred at others. Talent is mostly D3 and D2 guys with some D1 players from smaller programs sprinkled in.  You can check out the rosters to see the talent.  A lefty sitting 84-86 from a D3 school would get plenty of innings to pitch.  But like everything else, it can depend on the team and the year. To get real exposure, the Cape League is the gold standard.  MLB scouts are at the games every night, often from multiple teams sitting/standing together behind the backstop.  Cape League is top of the mark for talent.  When my son was young he went to a morning camp one of the teams provided and  he worked one on one with 3 players drafted in the top rounds, including Phil Ervin, who currently plays outfield for the Reds.
