KEEPITREAL, yeah it’s true. Better have a family with a lot of $$$$$$$ to play that kind of schedule. Only the rich can meet at all those places to play. So you telling kids that only play HS ball can’t get recruited. You are crazy. Maybe not in eastern Kentucky but what about kids in big cities that don’t come from loaded families? If you go to SHOWCASES, I will say this, you better bring something to show. Better have 88+ fastball, crazy 60 time, or something else that just is different. I think kids are better off going the small college route any more. Working on their academics while still trying to get better and better at baseball. If you do develop a 95mph with a little junk, you can get drafted. After all, isn’t getting drafted the goal? Do you really have to spend 25,000 a summer going to PBR, PG events?

All the travel baseball is destroying their arms and shoulders. For what,

I’d sure took my chances on my arm and shoulder to of got to play the game I loved. Not like there’s a lot to do in Eastern Kentucky in the summer. Why not be with your HS team/friends on the baseball field playing somewhere staying busy and doing something worthwhile.
