Here is a little bit of a contrarian view point. We had a similar situation also arise. My S future coach asked all of the incoming recruits if they wanted to play in a local college league near the school. We live 3+ hours away and without being in school for housing purposes we could not do it realistically. He was already playing on an 18u team for tournaments. This got us thinking about since he is recruited as a position player should he be seeing college pitching this summer. We considered playing local college wood bat leagues. We ended up asking what we thought would be our best resource on this question, a coach who coaches for his tournament team in the fall/winter and manages a Northwoods League team in the summer. His advice was since you are already getting at bats on the 18u team this is going to be your last summer to have fun and not play serious baseball all of the time, he did not believe he would miss out on much not seeing college pitchers. We ended up following this advice and he will work on getting stronger and faster while not playing during the week this summer.
