Hi Everyone. I am looking to have my son do a few individual showcases this year (in addition to his showcase team events). I was considering him doing a PBR event, but I have heard mixed reviews for ones done in PA. The last PBR scout day events my son attended, did not even use laser timed 60's and the grass was so high none of the 30+ kids had a sub 7. Add in that the person throwing BP could not throw strikes, it was a very expensive day that produced nothing in return.
I am considering trying one more PBR event, but wanted to understand what services they provide as I feel I must be missing something. Is it just a way to update a players metrics on their site so coaches can search and find players, or does the PBR scouts reach out to coaches to help try and get players exposure? Do they only help top 100 players? None of the kids we know has had any coach reach out to them from finding them on PBR, but all have had some success with Fieldlevel, NCSA and a few other sites. I am sure the PA State Games would give players exposure, but if a player does not receive an invite, what does attending other PBR events do for them?
Thanks for your help!
