Hi folks. My son is a RHP and he attended the Stanford Futures camp this summer as a rising junior. (He loved it, by the way, and will return). I know many of your son's have attended camps there as well through the years. I am trying to be realistic about what the feedback means in terms of my son being able to play D3 baseball at an academic school.....So I - and I am sure other parents who went or are considering - would like to hear from parents whose sons did the camp, got similar or better or lower numbers and then tried to get college interest. My son does not throw hard - mid 70s...Having said that he has three solid pitches and is the No. 1 starter on a very good regional travel team. The team has a kid throwing 90 who has five D1 offers already but my son is the top starter year in and year out. As those of you who have been to camp know, the ratings are 10-2 with 10 being "top 5 draft pick" and 2 being "done after high school". My son got 4-5 on his FB and curveball ("average hs to chance to play at four year college") and 6 on his changeup (four year college player). He also had a good outing there during the game portion....They also rank various skills - his vertical jump was 29 and his rank was 10 - no idea what this means? His PB (power ball?) rank was 160...sounds bad....is the rank out of the number of campers? His 60 rank was 50, his 30 rank was 32, his shuttle rank was 89....so again would love to hear from other parents whose kids have done this camp - how did the numbers correlate to getting any college interest at the D3 level? Thanks so much people. Just found this site. Excellent and supportive resource
