16U is usuually looked at as mostly 15 year olds
What?! Not in our neighborhood. 16U teams are stacked with 16 yr olds. The high profile programs around here are playing to win the AABC Mickey Mantle series.
OTOH, we did the whole 16U high profile summer team. We were promised lots of scouts at all the college sponsored events we played in. Most of the time you could stand on 2nd base at these games, do a 360 degree spin and not see a single scout or college coach. For the most part, scouts & coaches are trailing 17 yr olds who just finished their junior year in HS.
