The Metro Scout League passed out 13 Scout Books to the following professional organizations and colleges throughout the day: Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates, One Sports Agent/Advisor, Kansas State U, Louisiana State U, Texas State U, UTA, University of Central Arkansas, Austin College, Navarro, Frank Phillips, Grayson College and Howard JC.
I believe that is a total of 56 scouts/coaches that have received scout books from us. Our goal was 10 a week for a total of 50. The average of the 4 week period is 14 per week. There are 11 schools or pro organizations that have RSVP'd for next week. As Mrs. Catcher will tell you, some folks do not fully understand the rules of the RSVP, so we will see what happens next week...
NOTES- Next week we will start at 8am at UTD in Richardson. We will have our SCOUT Day. Players will be timed and graded in all aspects of the game. This will be similar to a Try Out Camp.
Game times for next week will be 10-1230-3pm
AN ADDED TREAT FOR THE LAST WEEKEND OF THE MSL WILL BE THAT EACH HITTER WILL BE GIVEN THE OPTION OF METAL OR WOOD FOR THEIR AB'S.
In the case of rain, do us a favor and call your MSL coach. Try and not call the number provided. Your coach can update you on the weather if needed.
If anyone has any questions, please call one of the directors or send us a PM.
