Anybody looking for a catcher to play in Jupiter?

Current team is not going. He is a 2009 and is ranked 4th catcher in state by PBR for his year.
At PBR showcase, 3 sub 1.95 pop times. Hit .453 as a junior this past season. Just a couple of weeks ago named NABF all series team in Jackson, Miss.

Can also play outfield.

PM me.

Thanks.

If you don't get a response you can request an individual player invite from Perfect Game.

I sent you a PM.

Coach Merc, I pm'd you back. If you need to get me my email is redrule@aol.com.

I'm a 2009 RHP and I want to go but my team isn't going. Has anyone else went without a team? Did that work out ok? I'm worried about playing time.

Well I decided to go as an individual and Im on the Perfect Game Columbia Blue team.

Its looks like its gonna rain all weekend. How is that going to affect the games? Will we get to play at least 4 games?

Oh boy another PG rainout special! Somebody up there doesn't like PG. Last summer the E. Cobb event broke the Southeast drought. Maybe PG should schedule their events where rain is needed, hah!

The forecast is scattered T-Storms---that can mean sunshine in Florida


DON'T THINK RAIN !!!!!!!! THINK BASEBALL

A friend tells me that the forecast for every day this time of years is "scattered thunderstorms." It usually means nothing, but when it does rain, it's over quickly.

Pop up's son came back today, played four games, did not record a single hit! Must have his pop up hitting working good.

Keep in mind...there were some GREAT pitchers in Jupiter. Throw in the fact that they are using wood and then, the best you can hope for is a good at bat, not necessarily a hit.

All in all, a great tournament with some great talent.

Good point. This is a place where you have to take advantage, pitch an effective inning, a quality at bat. Make an outstanding play on the field. I agree you do not have to have a hit or be the winning pitcher. How you approach thr hitter sd s pitcher and how you protect the plate is most important.

Just curious how those of you who have been to the event before, viewed the competition compared to previous year? According to some, there seemed to be more underclass players there this year than in the past.

My son first attended as a junior, that made him an underclassman.
Does it matter?

Not at all. I wasn't saying it was a bad thing to have so many underclassmen attending. This was my son's first time down there as well.....He's a Junior, 2010 Grad.

I just wanted opinions on how the competition or talent level seemed to those who had been there before.........sorry if I offended you.

No offense just didn't understand your post.

As far as my perception, it has always been an underclassman recruiting event for those wanting to be seen by coaches and an upperclassman event for those still uncommited and for committs who have strong draft potential playing against the best in the country.

I'd like to know thoughts or perspective about playing for a PG team versus playing for a team that has an invite.

I guess where I am going with is that IF you are not playing on a team with an invitation, will you get "looks" on a PG team?

AND, if you go as a guest player on an individual team, do you feel like you get enough playing time/exposure?

First of all many of the PG teams are coached by Pro Scouts--we played the PG Black team and they had a Red Sox and Cardinal scout as their coaches--not too shabby in my book---they also had a number of pitchers throwing 90 plus so there were scouts their to see them as well as our team


Sometimes we fret too much !!!

Good points. I guess there really is something to be gained by all who get an opportunity to attend. Parents too!!! It was amazing to me to see so many scouts and very talented players all at one location.

Son went and pitched for the Orioles team. I did not have a chance to go. He said it was awesome. He pitched the first game (fri.)for them. The last 3 inning. 2-2 tie with Bobby Borcherers team. Did himself well. He said it was the best baseball experience he's had. Glad he went.
