I'm sorry about your son. How many levels of teams does the school have? Is it freshman, j.v., and varsity? Is the j.v. mostly sophomores? Are any freshmen on j.v.?

These things matter because, as you go up levels, there are often kids from several years competing for spots. Some of those kids who made the freshman team this year may not make a team a year from now.

If the coach said hit better, then your son will have to spend this year learning to hit better. Does he have a summer team for next summer? He will need to play live games in order to improve his hitting. Does the school have school summer teams, or do they expect kids to play travel?
