Francis7, with respect, I like most of your posts, but right now you seem really to be trying to create separation between (unworthy) D3 and (worthy) D2 baseball players. It's not worth your time. There's a big range of players in D3, and in D2, and in NAIA. The players that I know from HS who went to D2s and became benchwarmers were about the same level as the ones who went to D3s and started. The truth is that most people who are not in the business or athlete parents don't know the difference. Have your son focus on creating good relationships with as many people in baseball as possible, that's what will matter.
