Thought I would update this. He is a Soph in high school now and 6'1" 195
About 3 months after I posted the original post here he tried out for 3 of the best travel teams in our state & didn't make any of them. He ran a 8.7 60, threw 70 across the infield, and had a 67 Exit Velo (at age 14.5). Fortunately one of the travel teams saw enough in him to invite him to train with them all that winter, in order to help him develop.
The feedback he got was "he has some Baseball skills, but he needs to get Stronger, Faster, & more Flexible." (Sound familiar?!)
He started training with a former Power 5 strength & conditioning coordinator in order to learn the proper way to lift (and run) and got to work... Lifting 4 times a week, doing long toss & j bands, and hitting 5-6 days a week
12 months later and he ran a 7.8 60, 78 Exit Velo, and threw 81 across the infield. A few weeks ago he had an Exit Velo of 83. He is seeing the results of strength training. He is playing 16U this summer with one of those teams that cut him 18 months ago, and working harder than ever... And he's pretty much been told he is exclusively a 3B/1B... He went from barely being able to do a push-up to deadlifting 335
And the top 3B's from our area are D1 commits with 95+ Exit Velo's and run 7.2's or less, and throw 87 plus across the infield.... He's trained with & played with or against a lot of those guys, and even with "Dad Goggles" on, you can see the difference. Bottom line is he needs to get Bigger Faster Stronger.
Just want to thank everyone here who has given such great advice. The kid loves Baseball!
