I don't know Hannah but I do have the pleasure seeing Kristin at HS practice and she is a real gamer.
She has a lot of talent and heart something that is lacking now days.

queen of diamonds north and south
My daughter played in two QOD events and I support them and have recommended some of my pitchers attend. Some of the information that was shared by Kirt and friends that she met were more valuable than the actual playing time. Any exposure is usually good exposure and there is a chance this event would be helpful if you perform. I thought the 50 min games really made it more of a pitchers and catchers show. For a girl who was recruited for her hitting, it did not pay out like I had hoped for my daughter. For both years, in 3 of the 5 games she got 1 at-bat. So if a coach is looking for a non-pitcher who can hit, you have to hope the coach is there and that that is a great at-bat. For non-pitchers, Since I now know that hitting and hustle are the two most important things that coaches look at at an event like this, I really wish the games would have been longer and that she could have had more at-bats. Now, my daughter did sign with an SEC D1 school, but it was her play in another similar all-star event with 4 - 75 minute games where she was seen. In that one she got 2 or 3 at-bats in each one or twice as many chances to show her ability at the plate.
I just want to make sure people understand there are positives to playing in this event, but you really have to weigh them out over time and be realistic.
These QOD events are well organized, well respected and well run. For many they are worth the money. But you get out of it what you put into it. You HAVE to do your homework and make sure coaches know you are there and when you play and most of all OF YOUR SINCERE INTEREST IN THEIR SCHOOL. If you are not a pitcher or catcher, you are not going to get many at-bats, so BE READY TO HIT, when it is your time. And when you do bat, make sure you do nothing negative. A well hit foul ball is better than a walk.
Just my two cents.

Re: queen of diamonds north and south
I agree with you on the hitting ........ we felt money would be better spent to go to the camps of the colleges she wanted to show off her bat to. Instead of getting 4 swings for a weekend, but the info we got from there was good as far as college recruiting, so all in all it balances its self out

Yes, we were pretty excited that they made it as freshmen. It's a perfect year to be introduced to playing in front of college coaches (which is why we also encourage every one of our players to enter the Kent State clinic if they don't have other sport conflicts). There is not as much at stake that freshman year and it never hurts to get the butterflies out before the stakes become higher.
BTW, we miss seeing you guys. Maybe we can catch a high school basketball game after the holidays.
