Perfect Game Nat'l Underclass Ft Myers

I would (a) email PG (Jim Arp?) and ask - http://www.perfectgame.org/contacts.aspx - and (b) otherwise be prepared for it to take as long as 4 weeks.  They take their time and do it right.  That was our experience when my son did a June showcase in 2013.  Good luck.

 

...also, perhaps you did notice...they listed the Top Prospects for this event already:

Thanks for the info BucsFan.
2016 LHP was a little disappointed about not making the top prospect list. He made the the top OF Velo list and had 7 Ks in 4 IP on 67 pitches. Not bad, but room for improvement. Kid is checking daily to see how he fared.

Being that this was his first PG showcase; its going to be fun to watch him to use this experience as a "Drive to succeed" approach.

The event was very well run and the only drawbacks I noticed were:
-the heavy morning fog on the first morning, something that obviously could not be fixed. From the bleachers, it was an awesome sight to see all the ball players in one large group in the outfield.
-lack of a PA system of some sort when the Skillshow rep was holding a parents meeting, as some parents couldn't stop talking about how good their kid was while everyone else was trying to listen.
- overhearing a few PG scouts asking each other whether or not a routine dropped fly ball that hit leather was an error or not?

Did I mention how awesome the weather was?

Glad your son did well. But, to be direct, the hits, strikeouts, etc. (results) at these events don't have a big impact (there are exceptions, of course...a kid has 3 jacks or a P strikes out 8 of 9 or whatever...that gets attention alone).  But, with Ps, it is all about velo, size/frame, velo, projectability, movement and...let's see..what else...did I mention VELO?!

2016SouthPawDad,

 

Routine fly ball is dropped and our scouts are asking each other if that was a hit or an error?  Sounds like we have some stupid scouts.  I didn't realize they were that stupid.  Maybe they just didn't see the play.  Unless one of them was keeping a scorebook, don't know if they would really care how the play was scored.

 

Anyway, best of luck to your son.  Sounds like he did very well.

2016SouthPawDad:

Should have "warned" you. (joking!).  PG is very active on this site...and we are thrilled to have him/them.  Extremely insightful and says a lot about the overall value of HSBW.  You can direct any direct questions his way!

 

It happens.  My son hit a ball well over the center fielder's head, to the track, at the Underclass games in Port Charlotte this past October and the scorer ruled it an error. I asked around enough to know that he was the only one that saw it that way.  But it was a little over 400' away and he was looking through a chain link fence.

 

No biggie.  It won't have any impact on his future.  For me, it was just the principle. Son laughs about it.
