Summer ball and Showcases

arizonared,
Welcome to the HSBBW. You’re feelings are pretty much normal. Everyone (myself included) is concerned if we’re doing enough of the right thing for our sons and their baseball. I think the general consensus, after all is said and done, is we usually have done more than enough. I personally think you’re fine. Please check out the recruiting timeline on the main website. It has some very good information. Recruiting Timeline I think you’re in good shape. Look at the recruiting process as an event much like baking a cake. You need a number of ingredients, combined in the proper manner, placed in a proper environment for everything to come together. If the recipe calls for two eggs, having two dozen isn’t necessary. If you’re supposed to beat the batter for three minutes, beating it for three hours doesn’t help. Same goes for the recruitment of your son. The three main ingredients are talent, exposure, and academics. Keep exploring the opportunities for exposing him to college coaches (showcases, letters, phone calls, etc.) Remember, it only takes one coach to make things happen. Again welcome to the HSBBW and best of luck to your son!

Thank you Fungo. I have the "Recruiting Timeline", and other articles from this site. They have been very helpful. Think the panic is setting in because of some of the articles I've read....and postings.....they have made me question if we are doing enough. We will do a showcase in August, and hope for the best. My son is such a good kid, works very hard and we want to do what we can to help him reach his goals.....and that's to go to college and play ball. Bet you have heard this many times, from many other parents! Thank you again for your kind words and advise.

arizonared....you have a PM
