Marc Rardin had every connection in the sport, and he never put his own sons through the showcase circuit. Never did the Perfect Game or the PBR, he told me. They just played multiple sports around older players with a family that made them work. One of those sons was later named the showcase circuit's own player of the year in his state, and today he plays middle infield in the SEC. The man who could have bought every exposure chose development instead. Sit and ponder that.
