My son recently attened the Ron Golden's showcase out side Columbus Ohio. He was there as a pitcher. He ahs been to several showcases over the last year and I felt that Goldens was there for one reason. $$$ To make money for Ron Golden. We should up 40 min before he was to pitch. Golden told him they are running early get ready. He gave him a catcher and was told to warm up for 10 min. No streching time just here is a ball go warm up. The had on mound for warm up then two mounds where they had caoches behind a screen with radar guns. My son asked what do you want to see? He was told just throw fastballs. The did not ask for location or a change up or Curve ...Just throw fastballs.

At other Showcases they pitchers stretched and warmed up with a trainer and was asked to throw a series of piches ie: Inside corner at the knees to a rh batter or low and out side plus, they wanted to see a change of speed and would call out the volicity. If my son never asked he would never have known his speed.

Golden's showcase for pitchers was a cattle call for $$$. If your son is not throwing upper 80's or higher it is a waist of $125.00. You recieved nothing when you left not even a t-shirt or thank you for comming.

It seems like the College showcase are much better for looking at pitchers and not just throwers.

was this showcase in conjunction with NSR (national scouting report)?

Not sure..Did not see tat on any info.
