Just thought I'd come to the best group of people to ask this baseball question:
Has anyone had experience with making a trip out west to the 18U PG West MLK Championship Tournament in Arizona?

One of my son's former coaches reached out to see if my son would be interested in playing in this tournament scheduled for January 14-17.
My 2022, who is an IF/OF, is already committed. The coach said that eight others have also committed. So I'm assuming the benefits would be the experience of playing somewhere new and getting some game action before high school season begins. The player fee is reasonable, but the airline ticket and hotel room would definitely add to the cost. I did ask about whether there would be enough pitching since January is usually a ramp-up period from my understanding. He said he has plenty of pitching. Roster size is fairly small, so I know several of the players must be two-way guys.
My son's comment to me was basically "It's just another tournament in January. What's the benefit? That money could go towards other baseball-related workouts."
I'm certainly okay with him making this decision.
But if there are reasons why you might encourage your son to accept this invitation, let me know.
