Deciding on showcase baseball events for young players can be confusing and too often lead to a waste of time and money. Some events, however, provide exposure for talented players and give them a pro-style skills test in front of college coaches. That's what the Bobcats are offering on Team Scout Day on Wednesday, June 15, at Derryfield School in Manchester from 4:30-7:30 p.m.

Six to 10 college coaches will be in attendance, in addition to a Mets pro scout,  will provide position specific skills and drills, a "pro-style workout," a recruiting seminar and a final player evaluation report.  (Evaluation reports will be made available to each player through their on-line player profile on our website and to our college scouting database.) The cost is $225. 

Players are guided through a proper dynamic conditioning and throwing warm-up. Catchers will receive "POP times," fielders receive throwing velocities from their position, hitters get on-field batting practice, pitchers will throw bullpens (with catchers) and all hitters and pitchers receive advanced statistical data acquired through Rapsodo. Players receive a T-shirt. REGISTER HERE.
