I think what you are asking is: will your kid’s career end in college because he’s going D2, right?
Again, there are tons of factors beyond stats. Part of it is proving oneself in a great summer wood bat league.

Can a player hit 96 mph+? Does their mechanics/body/athleticism translate to potential in MLB? How’s their character and work ethic?

A lot of players can hit college pitching but can’t hit with wood and/or can’t hit pro caliber pitching.
In D2 & D3 the variety of pitching you will face is vast. You can really build up stats against fastballs of 80-90 and that has zero relevance to pro scouts

Not just hit 96 mph. Can he consistently turn on 96 mph?
