I don't know very much about the perfect game stuff, but I do know recruiting.  I know that if you have a kid in order to get him into college you need to look really hard as to the level he will be able to play at.  With that, I mean, not actual talent, but the whole scheme that colleges look for. Size, strength, ability, work habits, upside in future, are they fully mature and done growing in high school where they stood out, but might get caught by others still growing and getting better in the future. I have been helping players get in front of college coaches for years because that's what I love to do.  I do know 100% that college coaches do go to high school games to recruit, but usually because some coach, someone with credibility has informed them of this player to watch who isn't under the radar. The biggest thing I've noticed in my 25 years of helping kids is that if you want to play, you need to get in front of the college coaches individually, you need to forget the name of the school you prefer, and go play at the level you can.   I've had many kids go to big expensive events as under classman and get all the hype of "We are interested in you" but then they don't grow anymore but still progress on the field and then they don't have that same opportunity as a senior now, so have the kids expose themselves like homework to as many colleges as possible at every level.. I tell my kids to email or call 10 college coaches (Head Coach or ASST only) every week and continue this, if you get any response it could start something positive.  Every JUCO, D2, NAIA coach I know will let a kid come to their facility in the summer, fall, or spring and practice with them if that kid has a credible coach to represent him,  also, D1 during open time. Also have your  kid, get his class rank high, his SAT or ACT scores done early and retake if necessary, check the schools academic freshman scholarship grids,  these are way more money than baseball.  In the last 5 years, more colleges have baseball programs than ever and that has opened lots of doors for more players, but with that the scholarships for baseball have decreased, meaning that academic money is #1, then baseball money and FASFA.  in the last year every college coach I sent kids to told them to get all this info turned into them asap and then they would figure baseball money, in many instances, academic was way more than baseball, and many schools only take 1 not both.

you are correct on above statement, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that on any travel team or cage that does lessons, you are either paying for tournaments to get exposure, or your paying for lessons to get better. But even then, after all of this, whomever you are playing for or learning from, needs to be on the phone for each individual trying to set up as many individual opportunities as possible for that players ability level, or instruct his players to make calls or emails to colleges he recommends using him as a reference.  All teams are going to have possibly a D1, D2, NAIA, and JUCO players, and every tournament is not going to have all of these colleges in attendance, and I feel that if you are coaching or teaching, you are doing this  to find all of your players a college based on their level of play, just my opinion.

Playing High School ball does matter because it gets kids prepared for their Select team in the Summer.....How did select get the name.....Someone couldn't get selected by one group so Daddy created a team to select son.  Not to mention, make a few bucks on the side.

To me some of the picks have me scratching my head but congrats to all the young men on a fine season.

We'll take it off then. I don't get on the youth forum much so I wouldn't know.

Just because the article is about 9 and 10 year olds doesn't mean it isn't relative to high school sports. What I got out of it was the idea of "select" ball. I know it's been a while but I'm pretty sure high school kids play select ball also.

WHO CARES :huh:

140 is a lot of pitches, especially if any of them were breaking balls, so no way, especially since he isn't a pitcher at next level!

What 2 D-1 schools offered him a scholarship?

Alec Lewis is at 2 homeruns
