If this school is on his vetted list of colleges, and they recruit early (e.g., are legitimately looking at 2019's now), I say "yes" this makes sense to do. It sounds like there is interest by the college.
It's hard to get in front of every school on your son's list, and you've noted some of the potential conflicts. Once a player (and family) is committed to trying to play college baseball, then IMHO getting in front of the colleges on his vetted list takes precedence over things like other high school sports or travel baseball team or whatever. I'm not saying you drop everything else. I'm suggesting that the orientation shifts as the player gets farther along in his high school years to connecting the dots academically and athletically with the schools on your son's list.
As a fellow West coast parent, it is very hard to do if the list of colleges includes schools East of the Mississippi. Good luck!
