Kids who tear it up on summer ball teams can't find the field due to school politics.
You can believe that but I also know first hand that summer ball is often time set up to showcase certain players. I haven't heard the term used in a while, but they even used to call those events "showcase tournaments". There's no "tournament" aspect to it. Nobody is trying to win. It's all about individual performances.
They set up the games to focus on the defensive (mainly pitchers) or the offensive aspect. I witnessed, within just a few weeks, the same teams playing and throwing their best arms against what would be a backup team. A week or so later, same teams and but the pitchers on the line-up are throwing 70-75mph batting practice straight balls.
