Go to Showcase With Hurt Arm?

Everything I've heard about the Trosky organization is that they are pretty hands-on, helpful and good character.  Talk to them and ask.  I was first going to say no way, don't go, but if your strengths are your bat and your speed, for example, it may still make sense.

Another question that may come into play - is there going to be someone there from a school you have particular interest in? 

On the reassuring side, if you are in position to be starting CF and leadoff for a top California JC, you will have plenty of opportunity to prove yourself for next-level looks come February.

IMO, I would wait and go to one of their camps at a later date.

What does your doctor say:?  Are you saying it's sprained or was it diagnosed by a medical professional as a sprain?  If it hurts so much that you can only lob the ball around then you need to actively work on healing your shoulder.

Nate is a class act, one of the best in the business. Call him and discuss your situation. 

If the event Includes playing any games, best you concentrate on getting healthy before your season starts.  If the event is more of a tryout format with no games or scrimmages and running/hitting won't cause any damage to your shoulder, go show off your skills and skip the throwing all together.

Those that can run and hit always create interest. I just wouldn't take any chances on making the injury worse or even slowing down the recovery time. I would get a doctor's opinion on that.

PG Staff,

I have sent you a PM.

Thanks!

Do not risk it... if you further the damage you could be out for a longer period of  time and maybe not make spring HS ball... wait it out..

My son had the same situation and he sat out a PG North Carolina show case because of his arm and the Doc / PT did not release him..

**PGStaff this was one of your NC showcase and we miss the one in Ohio too.***

Thanks everyone for the advice! Just wanted to let you that I went to the showcase and played well. Nate Trosky was nothing but accommodating to me. He had no problem with the injury and even went over and told all the coaches that I wouldn't be throwing from the outfield during the live scrimmage. I would definitely recommend still going to a trosky showcase even if you're a little banged up. Nate will do his best to take care of you. 

Did any schools show interest?  Did you get out of it what you wanted to?  If yes, than you got your money's worth.
