Thanks to all who contribute to this invaluable site. This whole process is overwhelming..at best. I wish i would have found this site a few years ago, but as it's never too late (so they say)...i would like to get your opinion and/or advice.
Quick overview:
3 year Varisty Senior on a 2 time 5A State Championship Team (in AZ)
6'2" - 185 RHP / OF - Fast Feet / Fast Bat - ( impressive stats )
Pitching throws mid 80's / OF got a gun and accurate to boot
GPA - 4.31 / SAT - 1369 Ranks in top 3% of Class
Area Code Team Tryouts - Did well ( 1 of 5 to hit HR during BP, one of fastest times in running)
Currently playing on Pro Scout Team (and HS fall league)
Recruiting interest ( letters & calls ) from Stanford, Cal-Berkeley, USD, Arizona, etc.
Question(s) - Because of death in family and other issues, we have never done any showcases.
He will be playing in a few Pro-Scout Tournaments and International Wood Bat w/ Pro Scout team.
At this point.... is Showcasing still important or necessary?
Are there any other "things" that we SHOULD be doing to help his chances?
He is one of those kids that his education is the most important factor. So he is really
wanting to concentrate his efforts towards the more prestigious or selective schools.
Does that change where he should focus his exposure?
I know this is long winded...and i apologize for that...but thank you in advance for all of your help and advice.
