A pitcher can be gauged by velocity and spin rate. For a position player it’s a bit more subjective. Yes, there are metrics for position players. But a position player has to demonstrate he understands the game.

My son was “discovered” at a showcase. I put it in parenthesis as his travel coach contacted the schools ahead of time.

My son didn’t need PG East Cobb and Fort Myers to be “discovered.” What it did for him was have him walking away from these two weeks knowing he could compete with any level of talent. He wasn’t a Top 500. But he was good enough.
