Reply to "What to do in front of a scout"

It's basically the same situation, but at another level.  My son got to throw in front of pro scouts yesterday at his summer league's prospect showcase.  He's not eligible for the draft next June....and really had to be talked in to going yesterday.   No live pitching....just a bullpen in front of the scouts.  He was 88-89, good control, curve worked and another pitcher told him that one of the scouts would watch him then write something, watch him then write more.  As soon as he was done, the scout went to talk to his summer coach....and didn't watch the next kid.  On the advice of his PC, he didn't try to overthrow (he's hit 90 in the past)....coach just said "throw like it's practice"...so that's what he did.  He'll see his coach tomorrow and is going to ask what was said.  As they say, "it's a start"
