There is D1 and D1, and schools that might be interested in him might not be where he thinks he wants to go. Sometimes a travel coach happens not to have contacts at a school that would be a good fit otherwise, which is why you have to do some of the work on your own. That's why, as everyone else said, it's important NOW to sit down with the travel coach to go over a list of colleges - where the coach has contacts and/or could see him fitting, and where he thinks he wants to go. And make it a fairly large list.
There are plenty of cautionary tales on this board, some playing out right now, of players who were recruited late (i.e. summer after junior year) to D1s without athletic money, showed up to a team with 40-50+ players, and were cut or redshirted after the fall. For every one reported on this site, there are dozens more such stories out there.
If his best attribute is hitting, then exit velocity is his main measurable, whether coaches like it or not. But, he has to be seen hitting against 85+ mph pitching, i.e. in good tournaments. You should know by now where his team will be playing this summer. NOW (before the college season begins) is the time to email coaches at colleges where he fits with his measurables, video, and high school and summer schedule.

Sure, but then time is very short. High school stats won't matter. Video from games won't matter either, especially if he's not a pitcher; coaches can evaluate his swing from video shot in a cage. He already has the 100+ EV, and a sub-7 60 time. That's why contact has to begin now.
