Sure there's hope.

No one on here knows how your kid is going to progress. No one on here know how far along he is in his physical development. Is he going to be 5'11" 205 at age 20? Or will he be 6'4" 230? Will he add 2 mph per year on to his fastball (that's the average that the PG numbers go up per grade), which would have him topping out at 82 mph as a rising senior? Or will he add 5 or 6 mph per year?

Based on the numbers you provided, the exit velo and running times are very good. In fact, a 3.9 HTF time for a left-handed hitter is 80-grade speed (see www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouti...0-80-scouting-scale/). So based on that, sure there's hope.
