As PTWood mentioned keep a notebook and record notes on everything discussed, even the casual topics. Ask some non-baseball questions from the scout and write it down. Son did it and a few times the scouts were impressed he "remembered" stupid things. Gave the impression son was genuinely interested in the scout and team. Enjoy the experience of having MLB teams interested in YOUR son. Many players and parents may never experience this attention. Learn from each contact and after a few hopefully he will know what to ask and look for. Another thing is just because scouts don't seem interested or make themselves available isn't a reason to write them off. The scout (team) had very little contact with son (we never met him until after the draft during the signing). Speaking with the scout he told us he used to watch and record son from the building beyond the OF wall, using telephoto and binoculars. So much easier than sitting in the stands, being interrupted by fans/parents, and he had a clear shot watching how son carried himself in the dugout when he thought nobody was watching. Enjoy this fun and exciting time!
