? for PG

MrandMrs,
From the information I have seen, PG rates the players and forwards the information to Baseball America. Baseball America ranks the players in their Prospects Plus site which is subscription only. Hope this helps.

Oh, well didn't think of that. I tried their player finder and nada....so I guess if that's the case the player either hasn't attended a showcase/PG event or hasn't been evaluated.
Answers my question. Thanks!

And DANG! That Prospects Plus is expensive for those of us who just want to be nosey!

If you are sure the player attended a PG event, and know which event he attended, you can scroll to the bottom of their website, click 'select a showcase', click 'go', and it will bring up the list of showcase participants. You can click on any of the names to bring up the PG report on the player.

There were over 500 players at the showcase. I saw several good pitchers. I was wondering, how long will it take for PG to get their player ratings and evaluations on their website? Does anyone know from past experience? Thanks,

Not from past experience, but my son's "coach" at the event said that 2-6 weeks was a good range to expect posted results.

I would think that they will have the Top Prospects list up in about 3 weeks and the rest in about 6.

Remember, they have their PG World Showcase this weekend in Ft. Myers, too.

Lots of information to digest.

MrandMrsBaseball, you have a PM.

I do not understand about rankings of high school ball players. What does it really matter unless the athlete is a draft pick. And I an sure PG does no better than the pro's.

Perhaps it's not always about the rating PG gives you. The ID camps, especially, may mean different things to different kids. Mine is an '08, so does attending a PG event mean anything as far as college ball or higher? Absolutely not. What these events have given my kid is another reason to persue whatever level of excellence he can personally achieve. He wants to go out there next summer and see how he stacks up. It may be a total disaster for him, but he's a good player and this vision of attending a future PG ID camp has infused him with a newfound dedication to getting himself ready. I think that's as valuable as getting a rating.

Pug -
It’s not just for draft prospects. To have options in the college recruiting process, you need to get your name out there to as many colleges as possible. No place better than being recognized by a group that has years of professional scouting and college recruiting experience. Even with the college coaches not in attendance, the rankings PG publishes along with the scouting information on players that they provide directly to college programs can be priceless. Yes, the ranking isn't anything by itself, but it’s a big step in getting your son recognized by the college or MLB team of their dreams.
