After a recent showcase a S.F Giants Scout invited my son (2008)to attend a Scout Team try-out. 1st we’d ever heard of such a thing. Up to now he's received minimal attention from colleges, some form letters and invites to $$ camps. Sat he and about 40 other high school age kids attended what was supposedly an invite only tryout session. The tryout was well organized by what appeared to be several Giants scouts/coaching staff as well as some college coaches working the full day event. Yesterday he was notified he made the 24 man roster & starts a 10 game (most games 14 inn) fall schedule this Sat. On the schedule I notice we're playing other scout teams such as the Rockies and Pirates etc, etc. Does anyone know of these teams and what the intention. Is this leverage to possibly use in the recruiting process? We're rather new at all this but learning fast; anyone’s input is much appreciated.
