looking for input and info on the mvp baseball program and teams out of California . I went to a assessment/showcase . now they have picked me to play for them in Jupiter ,Fla and Cobb, Ga. for their 16u team . the $$$$ is big ...do you feel it's worth it ..... coach Grumet and Bowman really seem to like my hitting and catching. but philly is along way from calf. and i got 2 other shots at getting there cheaper
if you want some of this plate ,COME TAKE IT! it not nice to steal on my pitcher !!!! i get VERY angry when you steal on my pitcher . that means i have to go to the mound and lie to him and take the blame .... you Dont want me that angry!

as i understand this these are national teams for showcases .1/2 of which are on the right side of the usa and south .i understand your point. thus the reason for the post . these teams are picked from showcases around the country . they came to Pittsburg to see about 30 hand picked kids .i would like any body with first hand knowledge because the amount of baseball people that are associated with this as coaches and trainers seems to justify the cost. i only met them one time and they seem sincere .noted they are in the business of college recruiting and getting the right kids in front of the right people as they say. see my dilemma.

I am going to go on public record here. If you have the resources to pay $2500 per tournament to play for a  team (some players who are pretty good, but a majority are marginal and you will NEVER have good pitching on this team), only do so as a last resort! There are plenty of teams that go to the same events that are far less expensive. This is what is wrong with the college baseball recruiting process. This guy will take any player with a moderately steady pulse just to line his pockets, will tell kids and parents anything to get them to sign for a tournament. I do know at least 2 D1 commits, more than a few D2 commits who played for this team in the past couple of years, and another PG Underclass All American who did. You will not have coaches come see your games with this team, however the coaches they hire to coach these teams are often themselves college head coaches and assistant coaches.

not sure why people feel they need to hide the information on how this team operates. Baseball needs to get rid of these cockroaches.
