Reply to "PG Underclass Showcases - Worth it or not?"

He has what I would call raw talent. It has never been polished; he's never received any catcher specific coaching. We've never had the money for him to play on the "top" teams where he may have had a better opportunity. He's just always been the workhorse for the teams he's played for. And the catcher all the pitchers wanted.

Sounds like we need to seek out a private coach who can help him prepare for a showcase event.

Thanks again for all the great feedback and advice.

PS - we didn't record the 1.7. It was recorded at a try out and reported to us. But I do know he has always been below 2.0. We have no delusions of our kid "going pro" or of being chased by D1 schools. We really just want to at least provide him with an opportunity to compete and thought maybe these showcases would be an option.
