The pitchers that light the radar gun (90+ for right handers / 87-88 mph left handers) may get an opportunity to throw to the few hitters that they like.
Best of luck...If you have time to practice your 60 time. Do that. Depending on your positon, they're looking for sub 7.0 seconds. If you can fly, they might just sign you.
Make sure you've built up your arm strength and worked on your swing if you're a positon player.
Best of luck. These things are largely cattle calls. They'll have several hunderd people show up at these things. They might sign one or two people.

This post is dead-on. These scouts are looking for tools. I think the 60 time is critical and what kind of gun (arm) you have. You better be able to bring it because, I assure you, they aren't looking for the Jamie Moyer type at these type of tryouts.
