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.

Interesting, I have seen something happening lately that I thought was odd, but maybe it is because of this. Rather than committing to a summer team some of the hot shot pitchers are choosing to only be a pick up player now and then, a gun for hire of sorts. Do you think this is the reason?
