I'm not new here or to baseball. The practice of recruiting kids that young is still fairly new, and its accuracy is still not completely proven.

I don't feel like I could watch a kid that young and project what they could be. I've watched kids play and seen coordination and tools that jumped out, but mostly stuff anyone could see.
A while back, watching a game of kids going into 9th grade I think, I watched a kid hit an absolute bomb of the pitcher I knew. And then the same kid threw out a kid at home plate from right field. He was much more physical than everyone else on the field and had an absolute cannon. I was able to kind his name and kept up with his career.
He was a freshman pitcher at Oregon State this past year. He was throwing low to mid 90s by the time he graduated HS. Victor Quinn is his name. It's the only time I've ever felt like a scout.

100% its not. You are assuming the kid will hit the weight room hard and continue down a certain path. Once you get a feel for a kids work ethic though, pretty easy to project, especially by 12 imo.
