[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can't really compete.  There's a reason you see CA, AZ and FL girls on most college rosters.  It's not impossible though.  Find an indoor facility to practice batting and pitching, if that's her position.  At least you can keep up in that aspect.[/quote]

Fairfax County public schools just had two students taken in the first round of the MLB draft. For one county to account for two first round picks indicates that they are competing just fine [/quote]

Right.  But you’d be shocked how much time these kids are on the road playing against better competition in FL/NC/GA on the weekends apart from their HS season.  That’s why they dominate their school leagues, there is not much competition here.      [/quote]

There are several premier tournaments that are well known nationally in baseball.  During the Summer there are PBR and Perfect Game tournaments in the Atlanta-area in July, and during the Fall there is a FL Perfect Game tournament in October.  Teams from all over the country play in those tournaments, and college coaches scout those tournaments.

Madison won the VA State championship (where the best DMV player played), but they definitely lost games.  SJC and Spaulding have the top teams around here, but Gonzaga, Madison, Sherwood, St Albans, O'Connell, Jackson-Reed and others are competitive with them.

The top HS draft pick was Max Clark from Indiana...I think he was one of the first 5 picks.[/quote]
