For Perspective, So Cal Based, DD playing college ball now. In her travel day's, there were 3-4 players each year on her team from out of state or Nor Cal, that either came into town for friendlies (Didn't play many) or Tourney's, and an occasional practice if it was an all practice weekend. The collective rationale, schedule included all top level competition, thus, seeing top level, pitching, week in and week out. College Coaches typically spent their time out west in So Cal at these top tier events, as the best use of their time and $$$ with the sheer volume of girls to look at in a given weekend. There are many events outside So Cal in the West that draw the coaches, however, for their $$$ and valuable recruiting time, Just my and DD experience a few years outside of the travel world now.
