The PG ID showcases are regional. Try to contact Bama Bomber (Greg Legg) for info.

I guess what I'm trying to find out is if he would fit in at one of these showcases based on his byo. We live in a non baseball town and I don't know if his credentials match up to the rest of the country. I checked the time line like you said,now do I contact them thru their website or do I try to get Bama Bomber thru HSBW ? I don't think I'll get any help from his HS coach.Did you try the Pro tryouts and if you did what did you think of them.

IMO, yes & yes. Also connect w/ Tom Rizzi, aka TRhit. He operates a showcase venue in the NE based out of CT.

In reality, the most important summer to be seen & showcased is the summer after the junior year. If you can afford it, a regional showcase after the sophomore year is a good idea - just for the experience. MLB tryouts are cool too. They're free!

College Select with Tom [TRHit] Rizzi is a great avenue. Also look right in central PA at ECTB [ECTB.org]With what you have supplied he will fit in at either and probably be a stand out. Then look to one of the large national showcases T1 Area Code or my personal favorite Perfect Game You will find the PG people remarkably accessable and helpful.We have just finished one son next one is forECTB tryout in 10 days and most certainly will apply for College Select this summer he has been to one PG showcase already. He is primarily a third baseman but is also a pitcher throwing in the low 80's and a sophmore.He did not feel overmatched at PG but was not at this time a top prospect either he received I believe a 7.5 rating out of 10. He will probably head to the underclassman NE [PG] showcase this summer and if he does well may look to the really big stuff in the fall.

Thanks everyboby,
This is why I love this sight, everybodys here to help. Thanks TR for your PM. I think we're going to your NY showcase and I think we're going to try 2 pro tryouts in June to get the experience.
Thanks justafan for your input and good luck with your boys. On the ECTB deal ,our summer team was supposed to start up the Western region for ECTB 3 years ago, but it never materialized. As far as traveling east in PA on the PA turnpike, I don't think I have enough vacation time to go across PA at 55.
