Is your pitching instructor being realistic.....or does he want your son to take more pitching lessons and stop hitting lessons 
I'm kidding, but only half heartedly. He's a sophomore to be....let him keep playing both ways. What are his measurables at this point? RHP or LHP? Velo? 60 or 40 time? Exit Velo, OF velo? Have any college coaches seen him play? Until you hear a college coach say PO, I'd stay away from that option as long as possible. What if he blows out his elbow pitching? He may still be viable as an OF....it's just way too early to tell. Let him keep playing and keep doing the stuff that kids do. Heck, I was more concerned with my son getting hurt pitching....either arm injury or comebacker to the face than I was when he played varsity soccer or CYO basketball (though he did break his thumb playing basketball). Kids get hurt, it happens...you can't control how or where.
