I have been reading through the posts. Do you have a 'best' way to go through the steps to get noticed by the MLB scouts after they have started college? With our son, he's chosen a DIII because they wanted him for football and baseball and it was the right college fit. I've been told that there have been a few drafts from this level and want to know who to get him noticed.
We've gone to a showcase or two and felt it was just 200 guys looking for the same exposure and if you weren't on the list of some scout, then they really didn't pay much attention to you. Are there specific showcases for those who are heading off to college but now want professional notice? Does going to a MLB tryout help? Does trying to send info to the area MLB scout look ok? (And do you just send it in care of the team office?)
I've got to say that we are not in or near a major city, we made years of travel commitment to bring him down to participate in the Twins sponsored baseball clinics and play fall ball in Mpls/St. Paul. He's played summer league up here and this year, if I'm reading the posts right he should be on the more advanced leagues? Although this year he was going to actually try to work part time.
As with some of the other posts, he did not get a lot of help from the local coaching staff, references, pointers, etc. Not sure if they don't want to play favorites or they don't know anything.
Thanks for any help.
