PG National Underclass Session 1

Yes, and they access the PG web site for info as well. Go to www.perfectgame.org for full info.

My son and his buddies are local of course but when they attended two years ago the event was well attended by college coaches. More importantly PG provides your son with an evaluation and video that all college coaches can access no matter what they are doing that weekend.

I read all the post from posters asking what colleges what events

Does your son have specific colleges in mind?

If so email them and let them know you will be at suc h anbd such event--I have found that this is the best way to somewhat make sure the schools you want to be in attendance will be there.

Thanks, TR. He does have specific colleges in mind. So, he should email them and say that he'll be at this showcase?

LHPMom2,

You should not only email the coaches that you will be there, but send them your detailed game schedule including your pitching rotation(s). Most teams will give this to you in advance and it really helps coaches in setting up their schedules. Many teams will also send out pitching rotations to the programs that follow their teams regularly.

Be aware that there are lots of very talented players in the West and there are fewer slots in western programs than players, which is why you see many West Coast kids play outside of the West. Not to discourage you at all just for you to be aware and you will have to be extra diligent coming from the East.

BOF -- will we get that with a showcase? I thought that was only with a tourney.

My bad. You are correct. I would still send colleges a note that you will be there.

What about the showcases for a SOPH. My son is a Soph, rated pretty high with Arizona Varsity, but we are being in-undated with showcase requests. Top 96, PG,Exactbaseball, Bobby Valentine, etc. Which one to go to and is it really advantageous as a Soph.or worth the money?

Griff89,

Can't go wrong with PG Showcase in Mesa,AZ this November. It will give you an unbiased evaluation where Griff89jr stands amongst his peers and will serve as a baseline for the coming years.

RR,
Thanks, Did Ryan go last year, and who is there to scout? Thanks again, maybe we'll see you at the Junior classic, Griff89Jr is pitching for 520 Juniors again Sat 3:30. Should be good exposure for a Sophmore.

Griff,

Yes RR23JR did it last year as sophomore. There were College scouts as well as Area Scouts there last year. PG scouts/coaches are also very knowledgeable and have their own networks as well.
Since we were not sure when we will be able to do it again RR23JR did OF/INF/RHP during those 2 days. PG coach was pretty good in getting him in in all 3 positions. It was all worth the effort.

Good Luck at Junior Classic. Still a good amount of scouts today at the games ( Amount is less probably due to ongoing WWBA World Championship in Jupiter).
RR23JR had a good showing today in front of schools he is interested in and vice versa. Just tell Griff Jr to just relax and whip it!
