Opinions PG atlantic coast underclass showcase

PG got your sons information from somewhere and sent him an invite. He's obviously playing baseball somewhere and this information is readily available to almost anyone. Pretty much anyone that plays high school baseball can get an invite to a PG underclass showcase. Their top prosepct showcases and Jr. National/National showcases are truely invitation only. If your son has desires of playing beyond high school and/or wants to know how he compares against his peers and competition, I'd highly encourage you to spend the money and go. They run excellent events and their web site reports/exposure is the best out there. Good luck!

Plus Newbridge Bank Park is a top notch facility.

My 2014 will be there for his first PG showcase.

Everything I've read here has been very positive toward the event.

So there is a difference between a "Top Prospect" invite and a underclass invite???

A player can request an invite to either the Top Prospect or to the Underclass. The reality is that in general the players are almost all very good or better relative to their age group/class. A very few players who may not be up to the competition may attend but there's no question that there's going to be plenty of high level competition to measure oneself against.

For most players it is probably more important to look at the timeframes of the tournaments relative to the college recruiting calendar to ensure that the coaches the player is interested in are able to attend the showcase.

My son's first at bat at the underclass was against a pitcher throwing 90 mph. His first at bat at the Sunshine tournament 6 months later was against a pitcher throwing 90 mph. The first two batters he faced at the Sunshine tournament were drafted in the 6th and 2nd rounds.
