Prospect Gateway FAQ

The Perfect Game Prospect Gateway focuses on providing world class exposure for young prospects while adding new developmental tips that will help each player improve their skill set now and in the future. Not only will players receive an evaluation from PG Scouts that include metrics, grades, rankings and more, but young prospects will now have the opportunity to receive a detailed report for areas of improvement from a dedicated PG Advisor.

PG scouts take notes on players at our tournaments, but a Prospect Gateway is where we get more detailed information on each of the participants. Whatever activity the prospect is involved with on the field, our scouts watch and record detailed notes. During the workout sessions, we record 60-yard dash times, every throw from the infield, outfield and behind the plate gets radar-gunned, and we measure six important quantitative measures of the swing that are indicators of on-field success. Catchers get their pop times recorded and pitchers get evaluated and their velocities/spin rates are recorded during live game play. We video tape the workout portion of the showcase and video clips will be posted along with areas of strength, progression tips and PG grade on our website. If you are looking for the highest level of exposure and tips to improve your game, you will want to attend a Perfect Game Prospect Gateway.

Every participant at a Perfect Game Prospect Gateway will be provided the opportunity to take part in a workout session, which typically includes: a 60-yard dash; infield, outfield and catching throws to measure arm velocities; six important quantitative measures of the swing along with a batting practice session. Prospects will be divided into teams and full-length games (usually 9 innings) will be played to provide pitchers and position players an opportunity to perform in game situations.

The most important things to evaluate on any player are their physical tools. For a position player, that is their hitting ability, fielding ability, speed/range, power potential, arm strength, and quantitative measures of the speed, power, and quickness of their swing. For a pitcher, it is evaluating their delivery and arm action, along with their selection of pitches (i.e. fastball, curveball, changeup, etc.). A scout is also evaluating how much better he thinks a player is getting with normal growth and hard work (i.e. their projectability) for their body type and athleticism. Attention is paid to a player’s intangibles as much as possible (i.e. hustle, character on and off the field, etc.).

Exclusively for Prospect Gateway participants, a PG Advisor is your personal contact at Perfect Game for all questions. Your PG Advisor will have the expertise and resources to assist each player with questions regarding PG Grades, their Progression Tips, or anything else PG related for the entirety of your amateur/PG career.

For the first time ever, scouts on hand at each Prospect Gateway will provide participants with personal/private progression tips. These tips are aimed to help identify each prospect's area(s) of improvement to help them reach their top potential and excel at future PG events and beyond. All progression tips are private between you and your PG Advisor.

Progression Tips and PG Grade as well as video will be added to the players profile page around 4-6 weeks from the end of the event.
