Any news (or rumors) about PG / PBR / etc. events for summer 2020?

Yes, it's like trying to get "gas" on metric at PG event, which makes sense.
If you're sitting 0-2 or 1-2, no one on, catcher should know and set up that you're throwing outside, 4 seamer to get a good speed on record.

Scoreboard (or scorebook) doesn't have a replay.  

Command was painful to watch at those tryouts. Funny thing was the guys were talking and saying "I have no idea where it is going". SCARY!!!  

I give these guys credit. I couldn't stand in the box with a good pitcher throwing 90+ at me, let alone some velo guy with zero command....No thank you!

The Palm Beach Classic from 6/5-6/10 has been postponed until August per the Prospect Select website. 

Looks like the spring training complexes will be off limits to travel ball for June and possibly July. That will significantly impact the FL tournament schedule.

not sure how Area Code works for non-pitchers but Rising Juniors pitchers (underclass games), trying out - if you don't throw 90+ you will not make it. Didn't say anything about command or spin, but last year when we went, they only kept guys who threw 90+. Throw as hard as you want, over the catcher, hit the fence.. OK, next.  other guys throwing darts and curveballs, topped 89....Pass....  We heard the scrimmage was bad, as the gas throwers didn't have command. 

While Area Code is a great event(s), the tryouts are more of a formality than anything. Those teams are 95% picked before the kids start warming up the day of the tryouts. Never had a scrimmage in either year we went. 

I think AC tryouts were the single best recruiting event I've attended, unfortunately the team is just predetermined.

Rumor is dead period will be extended THROUGH July.  Trips to ATL (WWBA) and ORL (PGWS) are now up in air I guess.  Junior National Showcase (Hoover) moved back to end of June (right on top of our Area Code UC tryouts), but then AC cancelled.  So I guess now we can make Hoover and we'll play a bunch of local tourneys.  What a sh&*show.  I can only preach Bigger / Faster / Stronger for so long...................

Got that same email about Area Code underclass being postponed until July sometime. Going to be interesting to see how that plays out on our team as we have 3 or 4 kids who were invited and we have tournaments scheduled all through July. 

Also, wonder where they are going to have it now in our neck of the woods since Baylor (or any conference school) can't host any events on campus this summer per the Big 12.

PG Florida Elite Championship for this upcoming weekend has been postponed. They have another event there in a couple weeks that I don't see happening since the Fit Team complex is closed until at least July.

Oh dear lord. How fast will that go by the wayside?

Hopefully real fast!

My son had his first action today since February 12. He was 1-2 with 2 walks. Somewhere he picked up speed during the shutdown. On several occasions he got ahead of the runner going down the line to back up first on a ground ball. We also noticed a big gain in arm strength. Looks like a couple more scrimmages until tournaments open in south Florida in July

We did a PG tournament this week in Panama City Beach.  Great facility. No masks, sitting in bleachers, kids in dugouts, looked like any other weekend of baseball.  One ump wore a mask.  They did not stream the games.  They did the normal tweeting and scout reports.

Did you have any restrictions on roster size? My sons team had 17 kids so they had a bench outside the dugout some kids had to sit on

19. Probably 17 the first day. No restrictions.

That’s great to hear. I saw they were restricting the number of teams. I hope that loosens up a bit. There are some big tournaments coming up that my son is looking forward to. 

PBR event here @ Lakepoint the 4-7th. Other than signage, LP employees wearing masks, and a few small things (tip your caps at the end of games instead of hi fives), you wouldn’t know the difference between this year and last. You can take that as a good thing or a bad thing, or (as I do) a bit of both

This could really change some events if local governments adapt

Great news! I can honestly say Covid didn’t really cross my mind much this week at the ball park. It was good to see the boys joking around in the dugout. Parents talking to each other. Our team was basically a bunch of invites from different areas, we we didn’t know everyone, but I wasn’t worried.

Stark difference between how they ran the CBSI in Texas vs PG in the panhandle.  So there was no preparation of teams coming together? Players in Texas had to quarantine for 14 days. 

There was no plan?

Probably because that event had publicity. For regular tournaments no one would do that for a 3 day event.  We flew in Wednesday, met at the fields Thursday morning. We were obviously asked not to come if we had a fever or had been sick.

PG posted this on their page for the upcoming Jr National showcase. 

"Per the State of Alabama Safer at Home Order and being enforced by the Hoover Met Complex, all players, coaches, officials, and spectators over the age of five shall wear a mask or other facial covering that covers his/her nostrils and mouth at all times except when a player or official is on the field during a game/workout. Perfect Game will have complimentary disposable masks available at the gates for those that do not have a personal mask."
