My son is an '06 catcher from southern California and we are looking forward to traveling back east to attend the College Select Baseball Showcase in Binghamton NY August 15th - 18th.

He was invited to paticipate in the PG National Showcase this past June at Turner Field in Atlanta and we decided he would attend 1 more showcase this summer. I have been a big fan of the HSBB for the past few years and have always enjoyed reading the posts by TRhit aka Tom Rizzi of College Select Baseball.

I just happened to read a previous post by TRhit congratulating all 32 '05 players on his College Select travel team for having committed to play ball either in College or at the pro level. I think both the players and Tom Rizzi should be commended for that awesome accomplishment.

I am totally looking forward to meeting both Tom and his wife in Binghamton. It will be great to put a face to the "TRhit" name.

Will any other HSBB posters be attending?
Tom, is it a wood bat showcase?

stonewalls mom

The event is metal bat with the BP being done in wood -- we supply the bats for the BP session

This way we get to see the kids swing both materials and get a good feel as to their ability at the plate

TR,

I think my son's fall team may be playing yours at Coastal Carolina is your team Connecticut College Select?

Mr Mom

Yes it is

What team is your son on?

TR,

He's on the Mid Atlantic Red Sox. I beleive we play at 9am on a Friday morning (too early).

I'll be sure to look you up after the game as I imagine your pretty busy before it.

I look forward to meeting you

Stonewall's mom-
my son will be going, and is looking forward playing for Tom's college select team, i think he (my son) is going for the great competition that is going to be playing, and not to showcase he loves the competition but who knows maybe someone will like what they see in him. is your son planning on going to a school in the east?
Mrmom- i seen team connecticut play last week, they are real real good, good luck with that team.
