"Major League Baseball is undertaking its boldest effort yet to reclaim a youth apparatus that has been outsourced to third-party profiteers, planning a summer league for elite high school players that it hopes will eat into the pay-for-play market that exists today"

Teams and colleges have emboldened that notion, attending the events because they offer the greatest concentration of talent in one place.
