How to start the Draft Process for High School players?

To be draft eligible a high school player must graduate HS.
My opinion is that a HS player must first focus on obtaining a college commitment.

To clarify, how do you declare for the draft?

In baseball, as a general rule a player doesn't declare for the draft. Every player who has just graduated from high school, or is in JC, or has completed his junior year at a 4 year school, or has turned 21 is eligible automatically for the draft. All players are eligible to attend professional tryouts.

There is a wrinkle that a 4 year college player who doesn't qualify by the above criteria can renounce his NCAA eligibility, but I doubt that's what you're interested in.

Leaving aside the rules, in baseball it is very much a case of "don't call us, we'll call you." If a player has built a sufficiently strong resume on the field, scouts will start to follow him. If he hasn't got the resume, he can attend a tryout. There's nothing else a player (or his parent) can do to "start the process."

Ok. I'm guessig Perfect Game Events such as Jupiter is the best way to be seen by multiple scouts at a single outing. There's plenty of associate scouts/bird dogs around and at events but when and where does a cross checker come into play? Thanks for all the help on understanding this process.

Arizona Fall Classic (Senior) is another good one. Area Code Tryouts also.

3FG hit it on the head. The draft finds you, not the other way around. You won't have to do anything special if your son is a HS draft prospect.
