Above is a description of a two day event. 3 day events are different and each event could differ slightly. All events have at least 20 innings of games for each team. Hitting order includes all players on roster and order continues where it left off at the end of first game. There are no walks, once a pitcher throws 4 balls or hits the batter, he must throw all fastballs.

Later
A scouting report and grade is entered on the player profile page of each player. All scouting notes and information is entered into the database for future purposes. The goal is to create a baseball history of each player. This becomes very valuable when it comes to projection. When a player is seen once you only know where he is at that point. Knowing if he has improved or stayed the same over a period of time can be very important.

Warning: At most of these events if a player lacks talent he will really standout, because the average player that attends ranges from pretty darn good to one of the best in the country.
I’m probably forgetting something, but this is fairly close for a two day event.

PG:

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond with a very detailed description. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I enjoy reading your posts and insight.

Thanks again.

Ok so here is another question concerning the PG showcase. 2013 son just got an invite for a Top Prospect NorthEast showcase....is it worth the hefty price??? That is a lot of money I don't have. He attended an Area Code Tryout, he is playing at the 16u WWBA in East Cobb, he is doing a lot of traveling this summer with his team and being seen a great deal. Is this worth it???
Or can someone with lots of money just help us out! ha ha ha

I'd say it would certainly be worth the money, but probably not worth it to you in this particular case given the exposure he is already getting, unless of course somebody with lots of money decides to help out.
