What is scout day?

Scout days are basically for draft eligible players, where they hand out questionares and speak to those about the upcoming draft.  It may be a team practice, watching batting practice or bull pens.

If your son is at a high profile program, there will always be scouts watching, but the scout bench gets crowded right before the draft.

No one can predict what will happen to your son. 

People are going to tell you all type of stuff however, your son will figure it all out with help from his coaches and teammates, his job is obviously to remain healthy and eligible.

Your job is to breath deeply, be supportive, and enjoy your sons college experience.

Best of luck to your son.

At my son's school, only the draft eligible guys get to do the "showcase" portion of the workout....though all the pitchers and players will get to participate in a intrasquad scrimmage...some scouts may stick around....some not.  With your son being a 2016 at a D1, he's not eligible to be drafted until at least the summer of 2018 (if he's an old 2016) or 2019..... so this year's scout day is likely not going to be much if any benefit to him.

Could i get some feedback of on the ins/outs/thoughts on what is MLB scouting going to look like over the next 3 college years.......if he does have a chance?

School has MLB scout day in October for his school, what is the way  developing college men  might get seen, watched, reports, or whatever the correct terminology is

 

 

Certainly having a good showing at Scout Day could benefit your son.  Essentially the college coaches have relationships with scouts and they are showcasing their draft eligible guys for the scouts.  My son saw it as a check point.  They had data on each player and the Fall scout day was a way for them to check up on you and see if you progressed from the last time they saw you.  While the Fall scout day may be seen as a check point, I don't see it nearly as important as summer college baseball results and performance.  I've even seen some posters write that college summer baseball was as important as the regular college season.

Thank you. Not even sure what to expect, nor did I really know what it would be about. There are 11 returning as SR's and only one of those was selected, late round, last year. They did have 2 Jr's drafted and signed though. One was a 1st round pick.

The Jr. class was small, there are now 10 Jr's. 6 are JUCO transfers. 2 in the returning Sr class played in the Cape and had good summers, from what I understand.

My understanding is it was a great hitting team last year, not enough experienced pitching. They scored a lot of runs, a lot...........but gave up a lot of runs too.

There are 9 combined Jr/Sr pitchers, 2 are JUCO transfers.

My was a 2 way thru 6AAAAAA HS and batted 3/4/5. But will pitch only in college.
