I posted this a couple of days ago but it was at the end of an apparently stale thread, so I'd like to 'freshen' it up....
If a kid pitches, plays IF and also OF (and does all 3 fairly well) should he try and do all 3 at a PG ID? Will they even let him?
Also, it looks like during the inital evaluations, the kids do throws from IF and OF first, then the pitchers come in. How many throws would, say, a kid make from short during his eval stint (not games)? Curious, because a lot of throws could impact the pitching arm which will be needed later.

Krakatoa,
My son attended a PG ID Camp. This was the format, which may be different than one of their larger Showcases.

There were players attending who played two and three positions.
They ran first.
They outfielders threw to 3rd and then to home. (I think they had like 4 throws to each base-or close to that)
Can't remember what the 1st basemen did (sorry)
Then the infielders took about 4 grounders at short, throwing to first and rotated through 3 or four times.

Pitchers showcased in game format. They rotated kids in and out at positions, and I believe let everyone showcase at their stated position.

I'm sure others will share their experiences.

Krakatoa,
We ask multiple position players to choose a primary and secondary position. If they are an infielder, outfielder and pitcher we would ask them to either choose outfielder/pitcher or infielder/pitcher to help protect their arm from overuse during the event.

Anyone can go to our website under the event and see what the format will be. It is listed.
