LHS Pitching showcase suggestions 2013

I'm getting some quality names so far. Keep them coming! I want to make sure, once I get the names I do my own digging to verify their ability. In order to keep the colleges coming I want to be able to stand by each name on the list. It isn't a slight on anyone if they don't get the invite.

What are the details about this event, or where can I find the details?  Thanks

I haven't come up with all the details yet. I usually solidify things with the college coaches first. 

There aren't many details to find actually. This is a grassroots drive to get the top arms in front of colleges. It is a no cost, invite only event at Londonderry High School. That is about it for details!

Update: I have 25 schools committed to this year's event and expect more in the coming weeks to verify. I am also starting to contact some pitchers in the next week. I really want the top from the area, regardless of school or division.
Thanks...

Coach Demas,

Do you have a date yet? Also when will you notify the kids that will be taking part in this?

Any word on a date yet & what Colleges will be attending?

Just in case Coach Demas isn't checking the site, I believe the date is Tuesday, 6/25.

The date is set for June 25th at LHS. So far there are over 30 colleges that say they will be there, but that number usually goes up on the day of. The format is set up so we will get all the arms in within 2 hours. I will be sending out another wave of invites once I get focused on the event. Right now I am putting the finishing touches on the Junior Games!

I would like to invite anyone who reads this forum to come down to get a good look at some of the high quality arms.

Would love to go. What time will you start? What is the format?

The event is this Tuesday. First pitch thrown at 1, catcher pop times at 12:45. If parents or just people who are interested to watch come down please respect the college coaches trying to do their thing. You will not be allowed to sit behind the backstop with them. Yes, people have tried in the past! There is seating on the sides, plenty for everyone!

Congrats to these kids!  You won't get much better exposure than this.  Plus the price is right.  Great job once again coach!  Here's hoping all these pitchers show up with their best stuff!!!!

Very disappointed in Vermont and Maine though. Myself and Mike Campo worked hard to get some arms from there, but we just couldn't get them to come down. Too bad, but we will try again next year!

thank you to Coach Demas for organizing this great event yesterday.  I was especially impressed with the list of NE colleges that followed through and actually attended the showcase. This type of exposure is invaluable and one more important piece of the process as the boys get evaluated in hopes of playing at the next level.  It was a very hot day, the scouts must have been melting by the conclusion.  I think I heard him mention that he may start the event earlier in the day in the future, which is a great idea.  

It was a great event and everyone involved should be thanking Coach Demas and others involved in making it happen.  Scouts melting?  Lol, how about the four kids who caught in full gear the entire event, bullpens and on the field.  That's melting.  I'm kidding by the way, they are young and they got a lot of benefit from the day as well I'm sure.  Thanks to all, including all the scouts who attended.

Running a baseball camp this week, but the velocities will be up soon! Just need a little time....

Good event and looking to make it bigger next year. Hopefully I can talk some of the elite AAU program coaches into working around the date a little bit as I am sure they would not encourage a kid to turn this kind of opportunity down. If you know one of those coaches please feel free to give my email: bdemas@londonderry.org

and I would welcome a chance to work with them in coordinating a date next year.

Thank you Coach Demas. My son attended and was very pleased w/ the way it was run. A lot of people there watching and moved a lot of kids through. Your hard work is appreciated. The weather certainly made warm up fast!

HERE ARE VELOCITIES WITH AVERAGES. The gun used was a Stalker 2 gun and was calibrated before the event. The conditions were hot and humid and the event went off without a hitch.

Thank you and enjoy!
