my son is looking to attend this showcase that PG hosts in mid February. Looking for feedback on this versus full showcases and also to confirm if a hitting segment exists for the catchers. Thank You.

twooutdouble,
Normally I don't like to reply to these type question for fear that someone might think we are just promoting ourselves. However, seeing no one is answering your question...
Yes, there is a hitting segment, both against live pitching and separately in the cage. All of this is filmed.
I can't actually say that this is as good as full outdoors showcase, but it does draw a large number of scouts each year and there have been a lot of very good prospects attend. Being indoors, the only weather problems relate to the travel involved.
It's a fairly relaxed atmousphere and our staff enjoys this event.
If you haven't already, please go to this link for that event. If yopu scroll down on the page you will see some of the players that have attended in past years.
PG INDOOR SHOWCASE
It is far from our best event, but its pretty good. If your son has ability, it could help a lot. If a player lacks ability, it's a waste of time and money. I guess all our events are like that.

PG Staff - I registered Catcher for this event last year and was swayed away from it by a PG rep because pop times weren't registered. Has this changed?
No it's the same, no way to get pop times, just velocity readings. Catchers are filmed (lots of filming) on transfer, technique, etc. They are also filmed hitting both live and BP.
Thank you, PG. You're presence on this board is invaluable.
