thank you all for the advice and wise words. The advice has been heard and will be applied. Wishing your kids success also.
Probably a good time for parent and player to meet with the Coach to discuss next steps for college recruitment. Also, this would not be a bad time to get your son evaluated by a third party in the baseball business. If you have access to some local baseball academies or instructors this would be a good next step to determine if he has the skills and projectability at the next level. Others in this thread have suggested a skills evaluation and I totally agree.
At most, your son has 18 months to be recruited in a pandemic that has changed the landscape of college baseball. The current team situation you've outlined doesn't look like it is helping in your son's desire to play college baseball. Have your son ask (with you present) the Coach about college baseball recruitment and if the Coach will help in his recruitment. Listen very carefully to the answer. At that moment in time you will know exactly what needs to be done.
Recruited = Passion + Skill + Exposure + Persistence + Luck
JMO. Good luck!
