My 2015 attended the Complete Showcase today at McKinney-Boyd HS. Overall we were pleased with the showcase. There were a lot of boys approx 100, but I feel with the amount of boys there they did have it running pretty smoothly. We were evaluated by 2 coaches at the end of the showcase instead of 1. I was disappointed in that there were several listed coaches that I do not believe were there today, but there were others not listed to be there that were there so all in all it was good. There were 39 coaches in attendance. Majority of the colleges were JUCO and D3. Weather would not cooperate so we had to change venues several times which could have impacted the coaches slated to come. Overall it was a great experience if for nothing more then to see where he stands against other kids now. He did run the fastest 60 with a lighting speed of 6.44 and a 90 bat velocity. His first 60 attempt was 6.5 and then he dropped the 6.44 the second go around. His Arm Velo was low because he was trying to place the ball and not just let it rip. Both coach evals commented on this...so hopefully my son will finally listen to them that although accuracy is important they want to see what your arm can do. At any rate we were pleased with the showcase as a whole. We will be attending the UnderArmor showcase in a few weeks and will post on our opinion of that one as well. Only time will tell I guess if it has been a good use of our money.
