I was first exposed to advisors when son went to area code underclass several years ago. I had never heard of it before but several players had one. When we got home we were approached by one offering services and I declined. Can see pros and cons but I was warned against it by one of the heads of local scouting organization top officials. One of the kids with an advisor is in high A right now, another plays at NC and another one I've heard nothing about

Only players with draft talent need advisors. MLB scouts are the ones that determine if you have draft talent. Not advisors. If MLB scouts are telling your son he is getting draft consideration then an advisor MAY be appropriate. If an advisor is telling you that you need an advisor…. you don’t need an advisor! A lot of these guys are giving young players bad advice and it gets kids heading down the wrong path. Many are not good for the game.
