It doesn’t matter if times vary. You’re going to use your best time promoting yourself. Coaches see the players run relative to others and/or they have their own stop watch.
I don't think this is a question of times varying -- if it were just variation, you would expect that some would have posted a lower time at PG, and some a higher time. That didn't happen. Whether because of turf, running against another player, more accurate timing, whatever, it looks like PG is producing better results.
Example: Player 12 is a middle infielder. He's already committed. But in general, if you're an uncommitted middle infielder and you can do one showcase, the one where you can post a 6.83 is going to be better promotion than the one where you can post a 7.20.
Player 11 is a corners guy. He's already committed too. But if I'm an uncommitted corners guy and I get to choose the showcase, I'd want the one where I post a 7.13, not a 7.53.
If a player is already committed, what would be reasons to still do showcase events?
Some reasons... obligation to travel/showcase team, awareness that sometimes commitments becomes undone, vehicle to continue playing high level baseball, continued exposure for next level (pro scouts).
