Well thats fine. But what happens when a kid goes to a PG WWBA event and rakes all weekend? Makes plays in the field and comes up clutch for his team? What happens when he tanks a 90plus fastball out of the park with wood with over 50 college coaches watching the game? Do you think they are worried about what his ranking is? Oh we love this kid but you know he is only ranked a 7.0 by PG. Dang it and we really liked that kid! If he was only ranked a 9 we would offer him today.
With several members expressing skepticism above, I thought I should do a little investigation.

I did some cross-checking of the IP number and e-mail addresses for "mike.black". I suppose it's possible that he is involved in DIII recruiting, but it also appears that he is listed under his real name (not Mike Black) on the Staff page of a competitor of the company he is trying to disparage. I won't mention the name of that competitor, but it is one that has been the topic of discussions on our site before.

"Mike", it looks like you have been here under a couple of different names this year with a similar agenda. Please don't use this site for that purpose any more.

Good work MN!

I feel so used by this worm

nah JK- he actually gave a lot of good PR to PG! Smile

and when I find out "Mr. Blacks" company- he will get lots of bad word of mouth from me to my other baseball parents-very bush league stuff!

Julie,
For people like me, that don't read between lines real well, or newcomers that don't know the players, why not post the guys name and mention the company? You didn't rip on either one. If he/they said it, there's nothing wrong with attribution.

You could state it as...through investigation of the ip addresses it appears as though this address links to Joe Blow who is an employee of Joes Showcases.

It would certainly make the members and lurkers of this site more informed and educated consumers. Something this site has always stood for and excelled at.

There is no shame in truth or honesty. You wouldn't be doing anymore than that.

Interesting topic and some good points made on both sides of the aisle. Its unfortunate that the topic was raised by an obvious tool with an agenda.
From what I've seen of PG ratings over the years- and I've checked thousands of profiles- is that very few players score less than a 7. Personally I've never seen less than a 6, and they are a rare site indeed.
The reality is that there are a miniscule percentage of players that a sleeping blind man can tell are the elite talents. They usually have several tools that would grade out much higher than average, or one tool that is flat out off the charts. For these players,it really matters little if they attend a PG Event or get a grade, things will pretty much take care of themselves.
As you slide down the scale, there's a larger group of 8.5-9.0 guys...and a much larger number of decent players...lets say guys in the 7-8 range. Getting separation in this group is difficult. These players begin to all look alike, and making an accurate eval off a weekend view is very difficult. This becomes a bigger problem as the number of players increases and the number of different people doing the evaluating increases.
Therefore, you end up with a boatload of 7.0's and 7.5's...and from my observation this is the bulk of the scores from the players at these anybody can attend events.
The majority of players that I have seen ranked as 7s are going to be D3/NAIA guys out of high school out in this part of the world, or will head to JUCO.
I do see players who are scored lower than I know they should be. I've seen guys rated as 9.5 that I know are rated way too high, but I have the advantage of seeing these players much more than PG does.
I'd agree with the original post that perhaps the description of the scale is misleading. .
Keep in mind that there is a pretty significant difference between a top 30 and a bottom 30 D1 program. A top 20 D2 school would compete very well with many D1 programs......it isn't a competitive designation necessarily.
Finally, in my opinion, if you obtain a PG score between 7 and 8, it probably does you no good to use this when communicating with a D1 college coach. In the eyes of this rating system, you are an average player who has aspirations of playing in college...and there's nothing wrong with that.

A rating system equates to honestly. Why would the integrity of this evaluation system need to be sent through private messaging if there is nothing to hide? Isn't this an open forum? Shouldn't parents know what coaches are viewing? Why am I being insulted for bringing up a topic that is extremely important to me and my job?

After reading some of the posts here, one would believe... If you would be a high score there is no need to get involved. If you would score at the next level... There is no need to get involved. If you would score extremely low... We have even said there is no reason to get involved.

Guess that means we're doing it all wrong and this thing is certain to fail! Though, I'm kind of surprised by the number of college coaches that subscribe to pgcrosschecker. Seems like they really don't need it at all.

Seeing that 9.5 was used as an example of someone being over rated, I might just list all the 9.5s and above. We don't just give players a grade like that for kicks. That said, I bet we did miss on a couple anyway. Hey... Sometimes we have been wrong! I do know it's much easier to dispute the grades than it is to give them.

Anyway, I'm having our tech guy compile the statistics regarding grading we have done over the past years. I don't know what the results will show, but I'm going to provide them here no matter what they look like. Could be that those statistics might cause us to change the system a bit sooner.

Interesting enough, there is a book that has just been released called appropriately "Perfect Game USA". No it wasn't written by us, but it is about us, for the most part. I've read it and it is well written. I think there are some first hand accounts from parents, players, scouts, etc. that might give someone a different perspective than what some here might think. Even some "grading" stories. To be honest I don't think the book is worth the price tag (I believe it is $35) but it is well written and it does mention some less than flattering stuff about us. Please understand that the author (who actually posts here once in a great while and the HSBBW is mentioned more than once in the book) or PG sets the price. Also, please understand that PG does not make any money off the book. The book was finished quite some time ago and as always, many things have changed since then.

If anyone ever buys this book, please don't complain to us about the price.

Julie, you are quite the detective! I'm glad you figured that out before I made even a bigger fool out of myself.

Oddly enough I've noticed a couple posts have been deleted.

This post is not to defend you but to explain why programs and coaches like ourselves attend your events

01-- subsequent to the Warham event every year we run our Warwick 14 team Wood Bat Tournament in Warwick RI--many of the coaches who attend Warham attend the Warwick event because they are in the region and we have 14 teams in attendance all at one site--it all feeds off each other

02-- Many of the kids in the event have just returned from Warham and coaches get to see them in tournament competition-- another perspective for them--we have have coaches who are there for at least three days

03-- we, as a team, attend the qualifiers not for rankings but for the exposure they give us

04-- keep in mind coaches want to see players in action, not read the rankings--they can use the rankings to help them focus but they wills till want to see the players for themselves

The key is TO BE SEEN and it all works together--the ranking at the end of the day may mean nothing other then they to highlight a player that a coach may want to check out on his own.

Everything is relative--you can have 5 coaches watch a kid and not all will have the same reaction to his performance

Folks it is a very difficult process for coaches in making decisions

Sit back and enjoy the ride and try not to be too clinical especially if this is your first ride

Realize this--some of us have more experience in this situation, it doesn't make us experts but it makes us more experienced

Just enjoy the ride

PG,
In all fairness, aren't players nationally ranked on pgcrosscheker also? That means you could have an 8.5 at 104 and an 8 at 804 (just as an example, if it is way off, please correct me as I'm not trying to paint a picture with an absurd example). That would be quite a difference and I would think that most coaches would at least cross reference thier PG rating with their PG ranking.
Too much being made here on the number tagged to a player. As long as the 10s are all the best prospects and the 9s follow and then the 8s, everyone (scouts and recruiters) has a baseline to start when seeing the players.

Remember that evaluation is subjective. Some players showcase very well. Kids running 6.5 and 6.6 in the 60 open eyes wide. Pitchers throwing 90 plus always get noticed. Projection is a forecast based on baseball experience and knowledge. Perfect Game has established itself as the leader in this industry.

Don't get caught up in what the number is as long as it's consistent.
PG's talent/potential rating system is to baseball talent/potential evaluation what the military justice system is to justice (or military music is to music). We are talking about "rough" justice, rough music, and rough evaluations.

Two sixty times at 0800. Six ground ball plays. Ten swings against BP pitching. Two games, maybe 5 or 6 at-bats and 5 or 6 fielding chances. Seriously, how much is there to evaluate?

I have to believe that PG looks at the 60 time and throwing velocity most, since those are the only two objective measures in the evaluation. Based upon the athleticism reflected by those two numbers, PG can project POTENTIAL. The kid who is a 6.50 sixty guy and who throws 88 mph across the infield projects, wrt POTENTIAL, better than the kid who is a 7.10 sixty guy and who throws 78 mph across the infield. The former gets a 9.0, the latter a 7.0. PG will admit, I think, that those numbers do not, indeed, cannot, reflect heart, work ethic, attitude, skill (vs. athletic talent), or even quickness, hand-eye coordination, knowledge of the strike zone, game understanding. . .

So, the 7.0 kid may end up being a much better player than the 9.0 kid, above, because he is single-mindedly committed to getting better and doing what is necessary to play at the highest level possible. The 9.0 kid may not care, may be lazy, may not work hard at all. Who knows.

PG's projections, then, are rough, at best. I don't think PG denies this.

It would appear, from what I have observed and from the discussion here, that PG may want to tweak the numbers a little. Using metrics from their database of profiles, PG should be able to reveal how many of their 7.0s ended up in the pros, or at Div I, and so forth. Same for all levels.

But the PG score is only one rating among many. What counts, in the end, is the fit for the kid and whether the coach and staff at a potential college think the kid fits in the program. The fit should be comfortable both ways.

I have written on this site before, and will repeat it here--baseball truly does reflect life. The top 10% are clearly superior, whether it is baseball or military performance or med school or sales. The bottom 10% are clearly there for a reason. It is the middle 80% that provides the challenge. How do we distinguish among this group? My guess is that at any PG event, or like event, the top 10% score 9.5 or 10, and they clearly are superior baseball talents with superior athletic potential. They are bigger, faster, stronger. The bottom 10% tend to stay away from PG events, but still, you get rankings in the 5/6 range. These young men should not give up, but they should refocus on getting better and finding a great college fit. Those ranked 7 to 9 are in the crunch. I suspect alot of 7s are as good, in the end, as most of the 9s. The athletic potential that PG is able to measure in the limited opportunity to see them is awfully close. Those who succeed (say, play Div I ball) are those that have the best work ethic (heart, attitude, dedication) and most opportunity (you cannot get better if you don't play).

I know of two kids at the HS my son attends. These two scored 7s at PG events. Both are playing major Div I baseball. The work ethic and skill level these kids developed allowed them to simply surpass the "better" athletes (some of which were almost certainly graded well above them at the PG events they attended).
My son was placed on a PG list after playing in a tournament sponsored by PG at East Cobb in 2004. No 60 time, no BP, just game situations and performance-based observations. He went to showcases after PG already IDed him. So it's much more than the simple formula you lay out.

I do agree that hard workers give themselves the best chance for success.
Replying to a few questions I couldn't get to earlier.

quote:
PG quick question. Why do some ask to have the lower ratings removed? Seems to me that if a player is rated at a lower number at a showcase one year and then he goes the next and improves his rating, that would only help him. IE: shows that he is getting better as a player over time/experience,is there something I'm not understanding about the rating system?


Some we have graded very low and have left their grade blank. Others request that we take off the grade, some request we take off the entire profile. Guess they are thinking it might not help them. Others have gone from very low grades to very high grades. This does show something important because most players don't improve that much unless they are very serious, have a good work ethic and are tough minded. All of which are positive qualities. Most people don't improve that much by accident. See "Bum's son!

quote:
However, tomorrow if I can find the time at the office, I will list some, lower than 8 grade, players who just recently signed with some of what everyone here would say are Top Level DI college programs.


I will keep working on this, but I need our tech guys to help. I checked one SEC conference school (Alabama) because they were the first "highest" level college to show up on our database. Here are the results based on 46 players we graded who have signed or cvommited to Alabama.

14 graded 10
8 graded 9.5
7 graded 9
6 graded 8.5
4 graded 8
2 graded 7.5
2 graded 7
3 graded below 7

One player we graded a 6 ran a 7.4 60, threw 76 across the infield, pitching he topped at 71, and his hitting notes were not all that great. He was a high school senior at the time we graded him.

I can probably give many more examples if the tech guys have time to produce it.

Sometimes we actually rank a lower graded player higher than the higher graded player. We get lots of emails and calls when that happens. It should be remembered that we only attach a grade from showcase events. We do not attach a grade to players in tournaments. That is because we can't always get enough during a game to accurately grade based on potential. However, let me give an example.

Player A is graded a 9 at a showcase.
Player B is graded an 8 at a showcase.
Player B didn't show as much ability at the showcase that player A did. But later on Player B showed a ton of ability at a tournament. He still shows up an 8, but we now think he is much better than an 8, in fact we think he is even better than Player A at this point, so we rank him accordingly.

It has always been my belief, that we shouldn't rank kids after a certain point. Instead of rankings by the number of 1-2500, I always thought we should rank the top 250-500 by number and list the others alphabetically as higher level prospects.

CPLZ brings up a very good point that I think many here who follow our stuff would agree with. The truth is that the difference between whoever is ranked 150 and 250 is so little, that it is entirely likely that #250 could be a better player than #150. That said the differnce between who is ranked 650 and 2050 might be even closer.

Often we get complaints about players moving down in the list even though they have performed well. This wouldn't happen if we quit looking at players once the first rankings were released. But, we are always seeing new players and adjusting accordingly. When we see a player who we think is a definite top 50 type, that means everyone ranked 50 are lower moves down a notch when we enter the new guy into the rankings. The more guys we see that are among the very best, the more others move down. It doesn't mean we think less of their ability. It means we found another top guy. This can be hard for some to understand.

All this can be very important. A few years ago we saw a RHP from Kansas the very first time at a tournament. Not many knew who he was before that. The next time the rankings were updated he was ranked around #20 in the country. His very next game had 40 scouts including at least a dozen scouting directors at a small town in Kansas. He was later drafted in the 2nd round by the Pirates.

People do pay attention.

I don't know what any of this means... This includes many years of grading players from Showcases only. One last stat. From 2002 to 2008 there were 5,293 of these players drafted by MLB organizations. And I'm pretty sure another 1,000 or more will be drafted this year.
PG,
Not to be a picker of nits, but you used the word signed, which to many equates to NLI and scholarship. My guess is that this is not neccisarily the case, to which the word, commited would possibly be more appropriate. Please correct me if these are in fact NLI signers.

Thanks for all the work, very enlightening.

CPLZ,

To be honest I do not actually know who signed anything. You are correct, these are the colleges listed in our database. Guess "commited" would be a better word. But in most cases, they played there, are playing there or commited there. They include current high school player commitments. Some could have even transfered and we just don't know it.

That is being a picker of nits! Smile
PG don't know why you are working so hard the dude is gone. Smile
I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that if you took all of the PG players who were rated at showcases, most would fall in the 6-8 range, and I see that holds true. I know of some that actually flipped because they felt their son's rating should have been higher than an 8, looking back, thinking about his opportunities and those who recruited him and drafted low in HS, that was right on IMO.

Just our story, son's first PG rating came as a junior, 6 months later his second, although not performing as well as teh first time, he received the same rating. It was noted that he pitched just a few days before. That was fair. So doing well your first PG showcase is important, player should go prepared.

As far as ranking, closer to the draft, the stuff was pretty accurate from the predictions, I do beleive that Alan Simpson (who now works with PG) 10 picks away from his pick.

But good advice given to us was not to pay attention to that stuff and let the college coaches and scouts decide. I don't think that this is something we all have control over.

Do you have any idea if players report that they are playing, played, or committing to colleges that are not DI, I see some, or could there well be many more that just don't report or you are not aware of that are DII, DIII, NAIA, etc.?

Or do you guys go out to look to see where the players play at?


We try to track as much as possible. I'm sure we miss some stuff. Then again, I wouldn't know that for sure or we wouldn't have missed it. Big Grin

TPM,

I actually get these questions a lot. This has turned out to be pretty neat. I can answer questions to the group rather than doing it one person at a time.

The important thing is for people to understand we are capable of making mistakes, but never do we intend to mislead anyone when it comes to baseball.
Not surprising to me. 70% of the ratings fall in the 6-8 range as one would expect.

PG, if I'm reading this correctly, you report the schools of 211 players rated a 6.5. Thats's 7.4% of the total of 2835 6.5 s .
There are 519 7.0 players reported out of 4636 (11.2 %)
There are 660 7.5 players reported out of 3690 (17.9 %)

Are we to assume you can't account for the whereabouts of the vast majority of these players or they never played after high school?
I only got the numbers from our tech guys. I said I don't know what all of it means. But seeing that you brought it up, here's my best guess.

The numbers (totals) for all players graded are from the beginning of the database. We only started tracking colleges (college commitment list) a couple years ago. In fact, our database didn't even have a box for colleges before we started the college commitment lists.

Also the Grade List contains a very large number of players who are still in high school. Including many who are 2010, 2011 and even 2012 high school grads who have not made a commitment yet.

Guess those would be the main reasons for the large discrepency in the lists. However I'm sure there are some who did not play college baseball. In fact, some like Philip Buchanan, Kirk Hinrich and others went to other sports. Several will be playing in the upcoming bowl games.

That is best explanation I have for now, I'll ask our tech guys tomorrow.

Why are my antennas up and twitching again? Smile
Fair enough. Frankly, I'd expect a large number of players to have not played after high school.....that's just the way it is. A lot of guys love the idea of playing at a prominent program. Many more won't play if their option is a school that doesn't fit the bill for them. Its more thaa a baseball decision after all.

You can provide a venue, but its up to the player to succeed.
