Is your Travel Team doing a good job promote you to college and MLB scouts.

1) Has a working and updated Web Site: Hard to believe many travel teams not only don't have a web site. Some that do, has last year schedule on it or last year roster. The good web sites have current game information and upcoming games and tournaments the team will be attending.

2) Shows upcoming pitching rotation for the week and sticks to it. Post it online. Had once seen 25 colleges come to see one specific pitcher and the Travel team coach threw someone else instead. 25 very upset coaches left soon afterward. So did the pitcher. He is now in pro ball.

3) Have a roster online and at the games with all the contact info people need to know.
Name
address
Phone number
email
HGT
WGT
Position
Bats
Throws
GPA and SAT scores

4) Not overuse the pitchers. Nothing will upset a college coach or mlb scout than to get a pitching prospect arrive in college or pro ball with a tired arm. Do they use all their pitchers and rest them properly?

5) Has directions to the ball fields on the web site. One MLB scout almost drove into the Atlantic Ocean trying to find the baseball field.

6) Plays in well scouted tournaments. You can play a ton of games but is not the whole point is to be seen by colleges and MLB scouts.

I actually agree that the online information should be different than the printed information which would be handed to the coaches and scouts or emailed to them vs what is on the website for the general public to see unless you can password protect them with access with verified coaches and scouts.

City and school would be fine but not address and phone number. GPA and SAT online would be border line, if the player had not taken care of business, it really looks bad when everyone has updated information but those who have bad grades and scores have theirs left off...

Speaking of missing information, that is also very tacky!
A number of high school showcases and tournaments post players addresses, phone number and sat scores and GPA online already.

Paid Subscription Prospect Plus and PG Crosschecker already post that players addresses, phone number and sat scores and GPA online online already. Anyone who pays the $$$ has access to it.

The only parents that would be upset if their kids GPA and SAT scores are posted online, are ones with low scores in the first place.
Sorry TR but after checking with a number of supposely TOP TRAVEL TEAMS very few teams even post even the basic Roster info
name
number
position
Bats
throws
HGT
WGT
High School (GRAD YEAR)

Some have interesting info like their favorite ball player, books, foods and hobbies.

Some travel teams have all the contact info available online, just for member coaches and mlb scouts with a password.
