A 7.5 sixty is in the top 60% for 2021's in 2017 according to Perfect Game, so if he does reclassify I'd say he is well on his way in terms of speed as he's already at 7.4 and will certainly improve over the next 3-4 years with hard work.

84 mph exit Velo is in the top 90% among 2021's, so he's getting close there too

 

This discounts a couple of things -

1) Those percentages are of 2021's that have gone through a PG showcase. I would bet the majority of players of that age have yet to do a PG showcase.

2) The other 2021's will be improving as well. Some less, some more - but just saying that hard work will get you ahead discounts the fact that there are other players out there working just as hard.  It also should be considered that he is a 2020, and has had the additional year of physical growth that the 2021's have not had.  What happens when they go through the growth he has already had?

It's not to say the OP couldn't go on to be a successful player at a higher level, it happens.  Just at this point the numbers don't project to a D1 prospect.  Moving schools just to increase chances of playing in college doesn't seem to be a decision that will show benefit.  Moving schools to have a better academic experience on the other hand may be a good move.  If that is the case, the focus should be on which schools provide the best academic fit - and after that baseball can be a secondary factor.
