"Very rarely." Kenny shrugged, helpless. "It probably won't happen. Really, just remind yourself that this is a showcase. If it's any consolation, if the ball is hit to you, then someone else on the other team is shining. Getting some attention from the coaches."

I sighed with relief and nodded. That's something. For the other players. I could tell how important it was to the majority that were here, to get some attention from coaches and scouts. I wasn't interested in this though. 

"Do you think...about whether you want to play in college or go pro after high school?" Kenny asked, nervous. 

I shrugged. "Not really." His nervousness didn't ease. I raised an eyebrow. "Do you?"

He nodded. "Of course. I didn't think that there would be any baseball players that don't think about going pro. Most athletes in all sports have it on their mind. Even for a second." He glanced at me. 

"Well, what do you want to do?" I asked, avoiding talking about my future.
