Reply to "Recruiting the "mid-tier" player"

No doubt our 2019RHP is still growing.  He will graduate  HS 17yrs old.  The stars keep pointing towards JUCO.  He was touching 84 in games this fall.  Still not enough velocity to get any real traction for a 2019.  The head scratcher for me is if he was a 2020, which many 2020's are older than him, he would be right in the mix as a solid D1 prospect. He keeps getting invites to play in large tournaments on good teams that we have been turning down.  Curious to see where he is sitting come summer.  It's been pretty consistent 5 mph gains from fall to summer.  If he is touching 89 come summer than I think things can get real complicated.  Like the most expensive hand in poker, the second best hand, but you have to play your cards to the end.  If he doesn't see the gains that quick but keeps chipping away at velocity than there are 3 really good JUCO's in our backyard.  JUCO's that already follow him.  Luckily for us, he is fine going the JUCO route as are we.  It fits both financially for us and academically for him.  IE, he has zero direction for what he wants in a career.  Play some baseball, knock out your GE classes and grow up a bit.
