Patience is a virtue! Update...my kid has heard back from the coaches. First visit soon...and two more invites to other schools. Exciting. I appreciate all the good advice and for helping me understand the coach's perspective. I am sure their job is taxing.
Now he will see which school will be the best fit. He said the coach on the phone yesterday was so excited he was coming out and he expected him to contribute right away as a freshman. Encouraging!

That's great news, a good topic here that parents and players have to be patient.

As far as telling your son he would contribute right away, I would question that because the really good coaches need fall and spring workouts and practice before they make up the roster. Contributing right away might be 5 innings, burning a year of his eligibility.
