Reply to "Is my son good enough to play College"

Others are on the mark.  

I know your son was sidelined for a while with injury.  Does he have any of the key measurables from a reputable neutral party?  60 time?  Throwing velo?  POP time?  bat exit?  

What is the scope of colleges he is willing to attend?  Major?  Has he had the opportunity to get in front of any college coaches?  You may want to try and find an "unsigned" camp/showcase and quickly.  Your son may also want to contact the local JC and ask if he can get a try out/work out with him now.  Some JC coaches will do that.  This way, you will know whether the local JC has any interest, he will be a good source for assessment and if he doesn't have a spot, he may have a good feel for where you may fit and perhaps have some contact to pass along.

The HS stats are going to be very limited in their usefulness.  You certainly can't say "he batted same as him and him is at school X"  Too many variables to HS stats.  Is the league he played in one of the larger, more competitive leagues?  Did he garner any all-league/ all-area awards?
