How to see top level competition without the showcases?

Son is a 2022 catcher, 6'1" and about 155 lbs. Will either be starting JV catcher or backup varsity catcher this spring on a league champion team. Current varsity catcher is a committed 2021.
My son is also a 4.0 student in honors classes. He already knows what he wants to study in college and we are targeting the top schools in that field. On his target lists, there are some top D1 schools, some less competitive DI schools, and a few NAIA schools spread out across the country.

I have watched some of the travel teams in our area ( NorCal) travel to Arizona for tournaments or across CA for college camps. I am not sure if that would benefit my son as there are only 3 of his target schools on the West coast. I also don't believe the cost of these teams and the travel would benefit us due to this.

As we get ready for his sophomore to junior summer, I want him to see better competition without having to play in the Arizona tournaments unless many of his target schools will be there. We are planning to attend the All Academic Showcase this fall during his junior year as well.

How can he play against top level competition this summer without having to do the showcase tournaments?
