Where did he end up laying this summer. I am glad to hear that the coaches provided feed back and gave him goals for this summer
He's playing with one of his old travel coach and also in a men's league for 18- 30 year olds that allows 2 current college players per team. Between the two of them he should get a fair number of reps in. Not as much as if he had landed a spot on a Collegiate Summer league team. Got started too late for that. (though one of the nearby coaches wants to keep in touch for next summer.) At least, it leaves him plenty of time to work on strength and conditioning with his personal trainer. And some (but not all) of the pitching in the men's league is VERY high level
I would say the coaches gave him a set of "challenges" for the summer. Time to man up or move over. It's on him.
My son did the exact same thing the summer after his senior year. Played an extra year of Travel ball. Used to be some college Freshman in this area would play Legion for an extra year. Son's legion program was not interested in having alumni on the team. Once you graduated you were no longer eligible. Another program in the area welcomed college players. They asked my son to play, but he played travel instead.
