I'm not sure why you are so concerned about HS baseball. My son played HS baseball, enjoyed it, but it did nothing for him in regards to playing at the next level. TB and events like PBR got him a DI scholarship. We had a softball player here who didn't play an inning of HS softball until her Sr year (already had the scholarship) and received a scholarship to Vanderbilt. There's a saying I think applies here about controlling the things you can, accepting the things you can't, and knowing the difference.  You can't control what the HS coach will do, but you can control what TB team he plays on and what events he attends.

Essentially what I said, but with some educated estimates of my own prediction of the diminimus effect of one year of JV high school ball if he's already playing travel ball among peers and is elevated to varsity next year.

If this resonates with you, relax.
