Son is a 2021 RHP, 5’11 182 lb, with a repertoire of four pitches that he can throw for strike (FB, CV, Change-up and slider). His fastball just hit 84 mph. His GPA is a solid 4.24, and he scored 1310 in the SAT the first time he took it (he is not totally satisfied with that score and is planing in taking it again). Son wants to study Engineering or applied Math. He also wants to play baseball either in California or Florida. Son is open to play in any division as long as he gets the opportunity to pitch and contribute to his team. My question is how do we know he is a fit for any school? Academically, he is aiming at schools such as Cal Poly or Cal Tech... How do we know they need a pitcher with his characteristics? In order words, how do we know that he will be given the opportunity to play and succeed academically? Your thoughts, advise?
