Has anyone attended this in the past? My son has a chance to go to the one in Dec 04. Is it worth it? Thanks.

If your son is in a position to train during the Fall and can stay in top playing condition, I highly recommend it. Our son attended in his sophomore year and he was glad he did. It was a great opportunity to showcase without conflicting with other summer programs. It is one of PG's larger showcases and will have approx 400+ players. Very, very well organized for such a large event. It's a showcase, not tournament, format which can mean limited innings to pitch/play or at-bats. However, a great opportunity to be seen and measured against the best in that age group.
He's an 06 and went to a locat ID Showcase. Did any scouts (colleges) attend the one your son attended?
Yes, the PG Underclass showcase was well scouted. PG usually has both an Underclass World Showcase and a World Showcase each year. The World showcase is attended by seniors and some underclassmen and will be the more scouted of the two. As a Junior next year, depending on the skill level of your player, you may want to attend the second event. However, both are very good showcases to attend IMO.
