PG WWBA 16U

I would think that's worth noting.  Have seen other blogs from same event that have mentioned lessor mph and gave detail with respect to 1st pitch strikes and ratio of ground ball/flyball outs.   I would suspect these two pitchers may be noted in top velocities.  Perhaps there are more comments coming and individual player profiles of these guys will address your concerns.

Son is at event, so I read lots of these blogs. It's clear that the thoroughness of the write-ups varies significantly. I'm sure it's because they have something like 100 individuals watching these games and writing the summaries, and their levels of experience vary.

 

I hear you though. MOST write-ups capture pitchers' performance -- even when mediocre. 

 

Ive often thought blogs would be more interesting if outstanding defensive performances were noted. Game changer has the stats. Just an idea.

Game changer keeps stats but at times not accurate. When it come to pitchers velocity it does not record that, however they will be displayed on the players profile when the tournament is complete. If they are going to blog a game give the kids their due, and yes it would be nice to note great defensive plays as well..

Of course my son is a SS & can be nifty with the leather at moments so I'm a little biased. Maybe defense isn't notable enough to most to blog.

At least your game was blogged about.  9am game yesterday at Druid Hills between two high quality teams in a 2-1 pitchers dual with some incredible plays and not a peep.

The blogs are not designed for scouting purposes.  We compile lots of information that no one except scouts and recruiters see.  It does seem someone throwing 90 should have been mentioned, though. People would be amazed if they saw the amount of information that's compiled, especially on pitchers.  There are also scouting notes that go into each players file.  No 16 year old pitcher throwing 90 will get ignored by us.

 

Regarding the original post, that game yesterday actually does have a blog.  Sometimes the blogs show up later. I'm not sure why it happens like that.

 

The blogs were added a couple years ago.  I guess they create more interest than we thought they would. They certainly aren't designed to mention every good play or achievement, but as we move forward we will try to improve in this area. In fact, as soon as our new complex opens we plan to stream live all games played at the complex.  Every team should play at least two of their games at that complex. Blogging at those games may not even be necessary because anyone interested will be able to watch the game live or watch the archived version later. Not to mention the fields will be artificial turf to nearly eliminate weather issues.  Sure wish we had it last week.

PGStaff:

 

When do you expect the completion of the baseball portion of the LakePoint complex?

 

I've taken a look at some of the development's online material. It looks terrific!

 

 

Prepster,

 

we are planning on 8 fields next year and 8 more the following year. Then again we once thought it would be open this year. They have started to work on the ground, that is always a good sign.

PG Staff, appreciate the response, It was just a little disheartening to the player/pitcher throwing 90 to not get a mention. Everything you said makes sense and when it comes down to it, as long as the scouts know what the players are doing that is what matters. It would have been nice to have that complex last week, no doubt !!

2 people read blogs..parents..kids...no one else..recruiters know what kids did or didnt do
