  The best thing he can do is work on strength and athleticism.


If he is a P5 prospect, he will have no problem getting on a top travel team that has the contacts and credibility to call any college coach on your son’s  behalf.

Bingo, yatzee!  You need to put this in the hands of the travel team organization whom you will be paying (probably through the nose) to do all the things you are worried about.   Sit down with the travel coach and map out a strategy for his target schools, exposure and development.  This is what they do, and this is what you are paying them to do.   

Monitor your son's progress and the travel teams action items.  Follow up as needed, and begin learning as much as you possibly can about college baseball recruiting.   In the mean time, your son needs to focus on athleticism, strength and (drum roll....please) academics.

Also, don't believe the hype that these former MiLB/MLB players are throwing his way.  He is a high school freshmen.   If you are hearing that fine, but don't pass it on to him.   You don't want him thinking at a very young age that he can get by on his baseball talent alone.  There is so much more to it.  Talented players gets outworked every day by hungrier less talented players.   Just my two cents....

Good luck!
