Hey all,
My son is a 2022 Grad who is committed to UCLA as a pitcher. High school is playing this year and he is also a shortstop and a good hitter.
I was wondering which West Coast showcase events if any are necessary? Area Code?
He played Area codes last year, if they are in Georgia again we may skip that unless he should not miss it.
Thanks

Depends on your son's goals and what he is as a player. Also your budget and time. Since Area Code is free, I would say area code. I'm certain there will be a couple of west coast tryouts for area code.
If committed, no need for paying for showcases. Unless pro from HS is the goal.
My opinion only.
What are Coach Savage's opinions? What are the pro scouts opinions?
If you do not attend the AC tryouts, it will provide an opportunity to another player.

I would HIGHLY recommend Area Codes
That’s good.
I will have him talk to the scouts he knows are watching and also to Coach Savage. My son is still very interested in upgrading his national rank and he is very competitive. He wants to be the best and needs to keep growing his craft.
Thanks
When I started the AC games in 1987, parents often requested to rank their player and with 300 scouts attending the games I could have obtain a summary on each player. Since I did not charge a player's fee I did not need the "problems" of making a decision that could effect a player's future. The Pro Scouts agreed.
The player know himself his rating. If he is a pitcher, the hitter will inform him. If he is a hitter the pitcher will rate his ability. "One on One", that is the game.

Copy.
The ranking he speaks of is the the PG ranking. The one on one ranking is game to game. Haha.
