Looking for some input?..
Observation from the fall showcase season. Coaches from D1 schools are not going toshowcases looking for field players. Imust have talked to 50 coaches this fall and only a select few said they werelooking for anything other than pitchers and catchers - maybe speed kids. My opinion is that they find those field players atcamps or combines. Seeing them in actionis a **** shoot. They can see pitchersand catchers in action on every play in game. If they happen to see a monster hitter they will ask ? but only a couplecame looking.
I was told this two years ago and I heard it again thisweekend. Why are teams playing 3-4qualifiers (14u and up) in the summer when they could be playing their kids infront of coaches at showcases. Thethought is play 1 or maybe 2 Q?s and then hit the big events. ASA Nationals are not the recruiting venuesthey used to be.
What have others noticed this fall season?
