I am sorry if this is a ridiculous question, I really don't know the answer 
Do JUCCO players showcase at PG events? Our son never attended a PG showcase for financial reasons, as a Jr. college sophomore are there showcases specifically for this type of player? Thanks for the information!

We have Juco players attend some showcases. By far the most popular one for Juco players is the World Showcase held at the end of the year in Ft Myers,FL. Large number of scouts and several Major League scouting directors attend every year.

I don't recall any PG type events specifically for JuCo players, but I couldn't afford them even if there were. When my son was at a JuCo there were some games scheduled where certain D1/D2/D3/NAIA college coaches and pro scouts would "probably" be in attendance. During son's sophomore year, there were a fair number of D2/D3 coaches in the stands watching from about mid-season on. In the final weeks there were even more as their season had completed while the JuCo regular season played out. Of course, it may depend on whether the JuCo school has a reputable baseball program.
As I recall, my son was contacted by several D3 coaches (mostly in the ODAC) over the last month he played JuCo. He also was contacted by a couple of D2's and a small D1. Actually they would contact his JuCo coach and he would put them in contact with my son. Or sometimes, they would talk to him directly after a game.
He ended up accepting an offer from a D2 that never watched him. They found him via his stats (ranked 2nd in # of doubles nationally for D2 JuCo). And it was literally the day after we moved him home from JuCo.
PG,
Thank you for the response! When my son was in HS he used to receive invitations to attend the PG showcases, does he need one to attend the World Showcase? Also, he is hoping to attend college in the Southwest, is the World Showcase heavily attended by coaches from schools in the Southwest? Thank you for the information!
If he were interested he should contact staff@perfectgame.org
I should tell you there are not many college coaches that attend because that time of year has been a quiet period for recruiting. Many MLB scouts attend and we report to most all the DI colleges
PG Staff,
Thank you for the information!
