I'll add a couple of observations.
All heard thus far is very fair and matches my experience. Meaning, yes, you can get metrics and a web link to them for $99, and yes, you can also get good video to have on that same page to send to colleges, but that will cost you $499 (last I checked).
What I don't like:
1. You only have BF's assessment and cannot compare your son to others at the same event or around the country. You can, however, see the very top metrics in the country. Not that easy to find though...
2. Velo is accomplished by throwing into a pop-up net, a run and gun if you will. So you get one number regardless of position (C, OF, IF, etc.) There is a reason OF velo is higher than IF velo which is higher than CIF velo which is higher (usually) than C velo. At BF it is all the same! That being said, a position player does throw from their position and is assessed accordingly. Just no radar on those throws. Just not my cup of tea. I want to see an OF throw line drives to 3B AND throw 90+! Not throw 90+ into a net and 75 from RF so he can guarantee his throw is accurate for that BF assessment.
3. Let's say you pay that $499 for the video. Sure it's cheaper than PG's $695. But at PG you also play two games! So no, PG is not 6 times higher, it is ~$200 more expensive but you get the things I pointed out above in addition to the two games. Of course not every PG showcase is the same (such as indoor events) but very close. Do your homework and look at previous years (schedule, roster, results, etc.) for the PG event you are interested in. Oh, did I mention that all of that is available on PG? BF has none of this.
My personal preferences for the well-known showcases:
1. PG
2. PBR (good value, metrics and video posted, no games, varies by state)
3. BF
