Reply to "PG Sunshine East/Academic showcase"

My 2014 Grad attended the Academic, and he was PO. We had asked for him to throw on Saturday and they obliged. He did not participate in any of the drills and he was given ample time to warm up for his start. He threw 3 innings, and PG had the gun on every pitch. We had a good experience as he hit his velo # ; and, was mentioned positively in the game blog.  The innings are 3 outs or 5 batters ; and there are no walks. After 5 pitches , the pitchers must throw fastballs. A long way to go to pitch 3 innings but the positives are that he now has a high velocity number on his profile; there will be film posted that he can send to colleges; and he will get a ranking from PG that colleges can relate to. We both thought it was worthwhile; the advice from the recruiting seminar was pick the position you are projected to play at the next level. If it is Pitcher unless you are truly very good in everything else then just pitch. The reason being when it comes time for the rating if you are an above average Pitcher but 60 speed is slow; bat is below average etc you might get an average rating.

 We viewed this as a recruiting tool and in that it did not disappoint, PG is well organized there were name schools there; and once the Profiles are uploaded with the PG ratings one gets a better understanding of where they stand.
