Just asking for a clarification here. This is not run by MLB, but by a private for profit company correct? Hence the $325 fee.

I first glance it looks like a MLB event which it is not.

Yes, this is run by a private company - not by MLB.

I have attended this "event" the last three years. Actually, I am not sure they have held 10 of these. It is in fact, I "for profit company"...which is fine. However, the cost is prohibitive and it is run very poorly. Last year each batter took 6 swings...six! The pitchers do not throw until very late in the day when the temperatures drop and only 3-5 coaches remained. Over last three years I would estimate that an average of only 10-12 schools are present. There are too many other better run, more valued showcases out there to partake in this one.

I actually disagree with titancoach. I have been attending mltalent's showcases for years (along with some other teammates) and have had a great experience. The player instruction, along with the actual showcase events are definitely worth the price. The whole weekend is pretty personalized, getting to speak and meet with major league scouts and coaches. The major league scouts run a really tight ship at the showcase which works out great for all players.

Yes, the weather was a little cold last year, but I can't fault the showcase itself for that. The St. John's complex is a great place for a showcase as well.

I highly recommend the showcase! The showcase does fill up pretty quickly, so I would try to call ahead and reserve a spot if possible. That's what my mom did last year for me...

These are the last few weeks to register for the fall COLLEGE SHOWCASE and PLAYER EVALUATION DAYS! The showcase weekend is October 22-23.

Due to the personalized attention MLTALENT gives athletes, there are a very limited number of showcase spots left!

Mr. Titancoach:
I read your message regarding the college showcase. As a parent who's older son had atteneded this showcase, I must say it is a great experience for the player. However, Being the "professional" that you are You must consider yourself an "expert" as you have more baseball experience then the Scouts that coordinate and help run this event. How many years of pro experience do you have that makes you a resident expert? The event has been run 10 consectutive years across Long Island with great success. I am sorry to say that you as a professional need to resort to comments like that to be successful. Let the players judge for themselves. They have players from as a far away as Virginia attend each year. There are professionals that run showcases nationally, and I have never seen comments made like yours in such an unprofessional manner. I know you attend the showcase every year looking for talent. Hope to see you there this year again. By the way are you coaching next year?

can't believe you posted that message[titan coach].I guess the air you get up to your head
doesen't filter,your some piece of work.What will Clark have you write for your next comment.
Everyone knows he controls you.Only a total idiot would go against S.A.in New York.

good luck[you are going
to need it]

I cant't believe anyone would pay for a MLB camp.
The most I have ever paid for a college showcase is $150.00 Canadian. 2-3 day event with college scouts from as far away as California. Facilities were top nptch as was the instruction. The scout do tend to thin out is the weather is bad and near the end of the event.
That does seem pricy.
