Why are scouts watching so early?

I was just wondering why the major league scouts want to scout a pitcher at his first or second scrimmage. It would seem that they would want to wait until you have gotten a few innings in and gotten the rust off. Our coach doesn't even let pitchers throw from the windup or throw any breaking pitches at this point. My son is pitching his third inning since November and I know that at least 4 teams are coming to watch and I was concerned that his performance will not be as good as it will be after he gets some more innings in. Will the scouts come back if he looks rusty?
