Day 2

LVBA has been making some nice pick-ups for their travel/tournament teams for the 2010 spring/summer season. After picking up one of the best 13u players in the Lehigh Valley a few weeks ago, Dylan Dando has added another stud pitcher from Bangor for the 18u Elite team.

With the exposure that travel teams are getting now, the importance of high school baseball is quickly disappearing. In fact, there will be a day some time very soon where high school baseball will be virtually obsolete in terms of importance compared to tournament baseball at the elite level. We are already at the point n the Northeast where high school baseball is the equivalent to club teams when compared to the elite tournament teams that are now playing tournament baseball. Elite travel teams are going up against some the best competition in the country, while high school teams in this area are, well, going up against other high school teams in this area.

And where are the college and pro scouts?

Not at high school games. They are at tournaments where elite travel teams are playing. By the dozens or more in some instances. And people are already realizing this. As LVBA now has enough talent to put 4 of its teams on the National stage in 2010 as LVBA will have a team at the 9u, 12u, 13u and 18u level participating at the National level, going up against the best competition in the country.
