Hi, hope this makes sense and is the right place to post this. I am a 2011 RH Pitcher and First Baseman. Last year I was on a high profile Travel team getting exposure and interest from schools. Unfortunately, I was injured this past December (Torn ACL). I have worked really hard to get back to the game and was able to DH for my high school for the last 10 games of the season. I lost my spot on my tournament team because of the injury. I do not blame the team for moving on without me because no one could predict how i would recover from this injury. I am going to play on a travel team this summer but it is not even close to the same level of exposure. I am having to start all over again, the schools that had shown interest in me have all taken the lets wait and see approach in regard to their interest in me. I find myself panicking and feel like I am falling behind in the recruiting game. To top things off times are really tuff for my family so I do not think I will be able to go to very many showcase type events or college camps unless a school where to show serious interest. My old team is going to P.G. WWBA 17U Nat Championship & P.G. 18U National Showcase in the fall, my new team is not. Last year I was invited to the Area Code try-outs, this year I likely will not be invited because I have not been able to show that i am back and healthy yet. I am just at a loss for how to get back to the level I had worked so hard to get to and feel like I may run out of time since this is already the summer of my junior year. Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated.
