4T2,

Lots of hope. You are just getting started. Frankly he's got a lot of work to do just like any 15 year old with college baseball aspirations. The metrics you've provided are just a guide. I've seen lots of talented kids at 15 years old kids with higher metrics blow their chance by not working hard and I've seen many 15 year old kids with lesser metrics "want it more" and turn it on to play in college and beyond. Two things I can tell you with certainty.....nobody has a crystal ball and it takes a lot of hard work to get into college baseball and even more to stay in college baseball. Recruited = skill + passion + persistence + exposure + luck.

One very important thing that you failed to mention was his academic profile. Academics can give some recruits a boost & access to some schools they never thought possible, and they can also be a recruits down fall.

Good luck!
