[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do kids from DC proper (Wilson HS, etc) get on track to play college ball? Seems like the further outlying areas have the more competitive leagues, so if a kids lives in the city, are they logistically screwed?

OP here:
Wilson has had a few kids go on to playing college ball, including a pitcher recently who left to play at DUKE. It’s not as important to play on a great high school team nowadays. What’s important is the work you put in off the field - that you play on a solid summer travel team - and that your player does attend showcases to get noticed.

If a child loves baseball and has some talent the most important thing is to establish good habits early and as they get older (high school age) that they have a consistent workout regimen and baseball skills development program in place. 1% better everyday is the goal.[/quote]

Building on this, at what age do those showcase teams really matter? Junior year? Earlier?

I have a freshman who leads the team in hustle and has terrific baseball IQ, but whose hitting has him near the bottom of the order. On the flip side, he’s becoming a pretty good pitcher. Right now, he thinks he wants to play ball in college. Is there any chance?[/quote]
