Reply to "Posted article from Eric Cressey removed on showcases"

It has also been discussed many times on this board that things have changed over the last 5 years.  This article is 6 years old.  I was wondering if showcases played a bigger part now in most people's recruiting path than they did 6 years ago.

Yes, they seem to play a bigger role - but the main point of the article is about when to do it and when not to do it.  The points remain valid from an expert in physiology.  I don't see how to ignore that.

In other words, for most of the points made in the article, age of the article is irrelevant IMO.

One other thing - having gone through this.  I would advise parents of pitchers to manage (very closely) the bobbing back and forth during the summer between travel team and showcase events.  It is very easy to throw 5-7 innings of a championship game in a tournament on Tuesday and be on the mound for a showcase on Friday.  That is not typically enough rest for a pitcher.  Just think about this stuff - thats all.
