Showcases are how kids get descovered by pro and college coaches and scouts. I’m not sure what pissed you off so much about these websites, but I’d say the football camps and sites are a bigger scam



But football sites have free access to player ratings and rankings, which was the OPs point.

You can get football/basketball ratings and rankings for free from just about everywhere but almost all the baseball ratings and rankings are behind pay walls.

I think the 2nd person explained it well with baseball not being as popular a sport so they need to make money if they are going to spend the time doing rankings somehow since it wont be through shear site traffic. I mean even d1baseball.com went paid for their SCOREBOARD. Baseball is definitely a lot different.

I wasn’t responding to OP in my second post. I was responding to the guy calling it a scam

The camp stuff is a combination of both. If it is just a general all
comers camp, then forget about it. That is just a money maker. But coaches would like to see players that they are interested in competing up close against comparable talent in their “ID camps”.” Plenty of examples of kids that LSU football wanted to get in camp to evaluate more. They didn’t come.....they didn’t get an offer.
