Jupiter - Player needs a team

There are a couple of ways to get there.

First, if you are regularly associated with a team that is going or could be going pending results in qualifiers.

Second, if a team that is going is willing to take you on as a fill-in. But beware, this works best for elite pitchers; position players, or 2-way guys for whom pitching is secondary, often find themselves going all the way there to spend a lot of their 4 games riding the pine. I've seen teams show up with 25-30 players. You do the math; a lot of those boys go home unhappy.

Third, you can apply to PG to be placed on one of their squads. It can cost a bit more, but for a non-pitcher its advantage is that you know you're going to play nearly all the time when you get there. If pitching is important for you, you will, if accepted, also be assured of one multiple inning opportunity as well. Contact PG to inquire as to what you would have to do to get on a PG squad.

Midlo Dad is right on the money. Most teams are looking for pitching or a high profile player to fill a need. Jupiter is the one event we will take a few players outside of our program to help us out. The ones that we have taken have been high profile guys that fill our needs. They were all high profile guys that started when they got there. We not just take anyone who was not going to play or be a fill in guy as I think the case would be with any team going to Jupiter.

Thank you for the ideas about posting on the WWBA Perfect Game site. I'm really looking forward to going to Jupiter and hope it all works out. If anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

I like the PG route and the idea you will be playing.

Now, after you do get on a team make sure to contact the colleges you are interested in and those that might be looking for your position. Let em know you will be there and try to find out when you will be in the lineup etc and let em know.

I mean isn't that the real reason you are going, to get seen by colleges? or mlb scouts?

Baseballson did the PG team route (twice) at Jupiter. Unbelieveable experience for him. He is an outfielder who rotated positions in each game. We were happy with his playing time in both years. Met some great players from around the country, PG coaches were great, and he played in front of plenty of college/mlb scouts.

Just don't do a total cost/at bat analysis! (or, if you're an aggressive first pitch hitter like baseballson...a cost/pitch analysis!)

Costs aside....WWBA in Jupiter in Oct is pretty special.
