Really important!!!! What are my chances of having a future in baseball??

Im 16 and junior in high school right now. i am a pitcher and have 2 years of high school varsity under my belt already. i was wondering how likely it is for me to get noticed. my coaches dont really help me get scouted and never take us to any clinics or recruiting camps. these are my "stats" or bio rather:
im 6'2'' tall, 210 lbs
i have a 86-87 mph 4seam fastball
a 12-6 curveball around 75
my changeupo is about 72-73 adn it sinks away from a RHB
so "how good am i?" is kinda the question im asking
and can i have a future playing ball?
P.S. anyone know of any scouting camps or combines?

If i were u...i would work out more to get that fastball in the 90's...if u do u r sure to be in the mlb

i mean for what you say you have good stuff i can't exactly say because i'd have to see how your placement is cause no matter how good you are placement is the biggest part of pitching. i am thinking though since you still have a couple years of highschool left you have some time to make a name for yourself and get noticed and maybe ask some people i don't know of any camps but i know that you obviously have potential and hope you make a career for yourself

If you run up the numbers, the scouts will be there. They have people who get paid to find players and they know how to do it.

Your junior year is the most important year in the recruiting process. You need to send e-mails or tapes of you playing to the schools you are interested in playing at. You can try to find showcases around your area or in your state, those are big events that a lot of colleges will attend.
I am a junior in college, I took the junior college route and went to a top 5 division I program. I learned a lot about baseball there, and now I play Division I NCAA Baseball. The coaches aren't going to find you, unless you are amazing. You sound pretty decent to compete at the college level.
My best advice is to send out e-mails to all the coaches of the schools you are interested in as soon as possible. You need to get your name out there that you are interested in playing at the next level.
Good Luck!

A lot of people ask this kind of question and my response is that it always looks good on paper, but you have to play the game in front of my eyes to really see what you have.

your speed may look good, but it depends if you get a lot of outs with those pitches, you see? Good luck in your future though.

go to college!!!!!!! I hate to be the bringer of bad news but very few people make the big leagues. I know 100 people that have the same basic stats and they play beer league softball now. College is a great place to get discovered, and you have something to fall back on if not. Also, if you are that good college should be free. GOOD LUCK though.
