How old is your son?
We experienced this several times. The biggest problem that many travel/showcase teams have is poor coach communication. Most often what happened (son was part of a large organization) was that the coach would say nothing at the start of the season about playing time. Some kids went in assuming that they would play every game, got sulky when they didn't, and quit the team mid-season. Sometimes the coach's son played every inning (even when not the best player) and other kids platooned, that didn't make for happy parents. Sometimes some kids were almost never played, for reasons that were not obvious at all, and that was wrong. We saw some unpleasant situations.
In hindsight, we came to realize (although this was never explained by coaches, or the organization), that at 16U and 17U the kids whose measurables were of D1 level were the ones playing all the time, so that they could be seen, even when sometimes they lost games (think a pitcher throwing 90 who walked every batter, hitter with 100 mph exit velo who wasn't hitting). People whose sons were on the teams but weren't at D1 levels complained that the other kids (the ones college coaches came to watch) were playing more. It was hard, especially when those D1 kids didn't help the team win. My guess is that college coaches were asking to see those players, which is why they played more. If the point is to play in front of college coaches, then at 16U, the ones really needing it are the D1 prospects.
The best experience my son had was when, at a high-profile tournament, the coach explained to the boys (not the parents!) that some kids would play every inning, and the rest of them would platoon evenly. And they did that. Everyone was satisfied. But in 5 years, he was the only coach who ever explained that.
