If he's an IF, what's his 60 time?  (you can measure it on a football field if you don't know).  If not below 7.0, think twice about doing that PBR showcase right now - the time he gets will be online until he does another one.  The time to start showcasing is when his 60-time is below 7.0, or the summer before senior year, whichever comes first.

As a 2022, that 7.0 number isn't as important as people want you to believe.  My son was being recruited as a 3B/2B the summer after his junior year.  He wasn't at 7.0 and it never came up once from either of the 2 most serious schools.   Sure they like speedy kids for baserunning purposes, but if you can play IF you can play 2B or 3B without being at that 7.0 number.  I wouldn't discourage anyone from showcasing just due to one metric.  Being 6'0 as a rising sophomore and 84 across the IF will get him plenty of notice even without the straightline speed
