Max McCook Camp/Showcase

Sulltiger, Who ran it? Were any scouts or colleges there? How does the place look, from the web site it looks massive. What age groups and who showed well? Tell us about it.

I know that Shaun Sanderson from Top Tier was one of the persons involved with it. There were many pro scouts and colleges represented . Some of them were also providing instruction to all of the players in groups. Over 100 players attended. The age group there ranged from high school freshmen to college aged players. Huge facility. Top notch.

anyone stand out? thanks

Sulltiger, Where was this event advertised? Will they release the results anywhere, on a website perhaps? Did they conduct it like other camps, 60 times, radar guns, hitting evaluation?

They had the players run two at a time for the 60 , infielders and outfielders fielded and threw to the bases , pitchers and catchers did their thing under the gun and live hitting for all position players. There was no program to tell you the names of the players. I saw a few who stood out but dont know their names. McManus from Glenbrook South is one player who i have seen before and he hit the **** out of the ball. Of course i am partial to lefty power hitters .

That's a pretty good turnout; 100 for a word of mouth showcase. Must have had some heavily connected guys like Deucedoc talking it up.

WE HAD JOHN MALLEE (FLORIDA MARLINS HITTING COORDINATOR) ,TAD SLOWIK (HOUSTON SCOUTING COORDINATOR), BILL BRYK (SAN DIEGO MINOR LEAGUE FIELD COORDINATOR),DAN HARTLEB (HEAD COACH OF ILLINOIS), BRETT HERBISON (ASST AT ILLINOIS0 RYAN BROWNLIE (ASST AT IOWA), TY NEAL (PITCHING COACH AT INDIANA), DEWEY KALMER (HEAD COACH BRADLEY), TERRY SULLIVAN (RED SOX SCOUT), BRIAN SCHMACK (ASST AT VALPO) ALL HELPING TO RUN THE CAMP. THE STAFF DID A GREAT JOB. IT WAS AN AMAZING TURNOUT WITH ALMOST 100 PLAYER AT THE MAX. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH HOW THE FACILITY WORKED. ALSO, THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE CAMP'S/SHOWCASE'S AT THE MAX?

Stock will you be releasing results from the event?
Do you identify the top performers?

Trevor, sounds like a first class event today. Congrats on your hard work.

Can somebody who was involved with this event post who the top players were ?

Actually Ibach,

The one I have been "talking up" is the one I will be attending this Sunday... Nothing doing there...

Sully, never thought that was the intention. Which coach or scout that attended should post the list.

Wouldnt a coach or scout count as someone who was involved?

What coach or scout watched all the hitters for instance? They were switching in and out. From working a clinic area, to watching BP, then back to a clinic area again. Know what I mean.

This was an instructional camp/showcase - There were many players showing talent and many that were not. Hopefully the people involved noted the talented players and will keep an eye on their High School and College playing capabilities/time to see how they progress.
