MY son is part of the 2012 class in South Florida. He is currently getting set of the 2011 season for high school and played as a sophmore last year. He has been on a solid summer and fall showcase team. He has been showcased through the normal Tournaments and so forth. We are now starting the showcases as offered by the colleges that he has on his list of attending.
My question is should a player send a letter along with his resume to the head coach prior to attending that showcase camp? I do not want to overstep nomral protocol but I felt that if the head coach and his staff had the resume on file prior to being there it might allow the coach to be on the look out.
He is a RHP pitcher 5'11, throws mid 80's but manages the plate. Latest college coach stated that he was impressed with his fluid motion and delivery style. A lot of positives came out of the last camp he attended. The only problem I see at this point and time is he is not in the 90's with his fast ball, not too worried as he has time to grow and fill out, besides you cannot live by the fast ball alone. His aresenal will keep a lot of batters off balance.
