Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
Each team is run differently - so ask the coaches about the tryouts. Years ago (we're talking almost seven years ago) there was no distinction on S's team between seniors and other players - everyone basically played as much as they desired.

Howdy Metro Scout League in the fall would be similar but not run by scouts per se. Lots of TX kids every year on the Scout Teams that play in PG WWBA in Jupiter each fall

Bottom line. If your son has the opportunity to play scout ball, he should play. It's a no brainer. Its a great opportunity.

Posted by Joe Spiers on January 31, 2016 at 9:30pm With many amateur baseball programs today pretending to be what they're not, we felt that it's a good time to touch on topic of Scoutball, what it is, and how it's meant to benefit a high school player. What is Scout Ball? Scout leagues in Southern California are...

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
Always fascinating when travel ball group like CBA is "protecting players" for any reason. It would seem to be the responsibility of MLB and their teams to verify that any coach/team claiming to be a legitimate scout team of the parent organizations is exactly that. There are a ton of them around the SoCal area claiming to be Scout teams, so maybe someday there will be an effort to create a MLB-stamp of authenticity required to advertise a team as such.

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
The Orioles have traditionally had a team based in San Diego - coached by their area scout (a great guy).

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
The Cubs are legit, they are playing in the official So Cal Scout league schedule which is the most important thing since it is heavily attended by various college coaches. The only issue is how much funding the parent club gives. In the old days the cost used to be $100 and the club picked up the rest, but I know that has changed over the years. The SoCal scout league was one of the best things we did in the recruiting process.

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
That's a fair point, and I'm certainly not carrying water for CBA. I just thought it was interesting to see someone actually identify them by name (and by implication call the other ones illegitimate). I have heard a simple test is, if you have to pay them, it's a travel team, not a real Scout team.

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
This was true in my son's experience here in Florida. Not sure if the money came from the big league club or if the scout running the program covered everything out of his pocket, but I know it didn't cost us anything. In this day and age, a few minutes with Google will tell you if a guy is legitimately affiliated with a club or if he is just blowing smoke.

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
The Orioles have and believe still do completely sponsor a team in Maryland (Youses Orioles/Oriolelanders). How does the SoCal league compare to PG/WWBA events?

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
We did both. The Scout League is over a 10 week period in the fall that ends with the Az Fall Classic. My son also played on a travel team that did Connie Mack games in the summer and a few PG WWB tournaments on the West Coast. We never did travel to the East Coast WWB events. So coaches who were interested in my son saw him multiple times at multiple events, PG tournaments in Az, Connie Mack games, So Cal Scout League, and finally at the Az Sr Classic and Academic game. He also had a few...

Re: SoCal Scout Team Question
Funny to read this thread years later. My son did end up playing for one of the scout teams listed above. Fun experience. Lots of good players. Highly recommend it -- it's fun, and for a lot of kids it can be really useful for recruiting (as it turned out, for my kid that wasn't the case because he played scout ball as a position player only, and he's going to college as a pitcher, but it was still fun).

Re: GameChanger.
Only a fool wouldn’t want to look to see if he can find improvements to what he does. That’s the main reason I’m looking at it. Another reason is, when someone discusses scoring programs, I don’t like being totally ignorant about what they’re doing. I know that, and its why I’ve been a strong supporter of it. In fact, when I 1st heard about it from one of their partners, it hadn’t yet been released. But from what I was given to read, it looked like a terrific product, and I started telling...

Senior All-Academic Tryout / Arizona Fall Classic
My son recently committed to a high academic D3 school. He's very excited about both the academics and the baseball program, however this is one of those schools that does not have "slots" for athletes. He has to get past admissions, and the school is extremely selective. I don't believe the coaches would have recruited him if he didn't have a chance, but it's far from a sure thing. His pre-read was not a slam dunk, but also not a "no". He'll be applying early decision, and that leads to my...
