Alex Swenson explains how to pick college-recruiting camps during the NCAA quiet period. Choose camps with live games, not just metrics or workouts, because that's what coaches actually watch. Two-day camps give you more time and multiple games in front of them.

Hey, when you're trying to decide which camp or showcase to go to this time of year. Because you're probably getting bombarded with camp invites right now. Because there's more camps this time of year than any other point in the year because of the quiet period. The quiet period is where college coaches can only recruit at their own individual school camp. They can't go out and recruit off their campus. Okay. So these are the things to look for. Number one, make sure they're playing games. Why? Games are important because game performance is really important. Some of these showcases at camps, they only do metrics or pro style workouts where you do your 60, you hit BP and you take ground balls or you throw a bullpen. That's not enough. Okay. And preferably two day camps. Why? Because you get more in time in front of the college coaches and you're able to perform. And usually two day camps, you have multiple games. Not to say that one day is bad, but just make sure that they are playing a game during that one day eventually.
