Reply to "TravelBall / Showcase teams, but at what cost?"

This entire discussion can be traced back to a thread from a few weeks ago. "If you are good enough they will find you." Well, if you are good enough you need to allow yourself to be found.

These days there are many different outlets in which a person can gain exposure in order to achieve playing at the next level. When I was in high school, I didn't attend a single showcase. I was about 5'10", left-handed and didn't throw too hard. To me, I wasn't a "showcase player", the type that opens eyes at a particular event which could result in collegiate/professional attention. So I went with a travel team in my area which turned out to be a blessing. I got the exposure I needed and faced the best competition I could have (as previously noted, Jupiter is one heck of an event), and moved on to college baseball.

Do what is right for YOU. Not what you see others doing. There are many ways to get seen, just make sure it's for the right reasons.
