I agree with 3and2 that he has to find a way to do both HS and travel/showcases. He can even sign-up at the showcases as a Pitcher Only. But lots of them will let him do both and you never know if a coach might like his bat better than his pitching. If he is an academic kid, get him to either Headfirst or Showball. If possible do HF in August (should be after HS Summer) and then Showball in November.

As many of us have experienced here, lots of kids wind up playing a different position in college than where their HS coaches played them. The key is getting exposed to the college coaches who should make the decision of where the best fit is, NOT the HS coach.
