Everyone has a slightly - or not so slightly - different story.
Some good - some not so good - and some just plain terrible.
Take heart and tell your son to keep his chin up if he loves the game.
My son was a recruited scholly middle infielder.
He never even got a chance to have limited playing time.
The first day on campus - the coach told him he would be redshirted. His reaction wasnt frustration - it was pure anger.
He dealt with it - used the time wisely - went to the summer collegiate league and did real well.
Despite my advice to run from the place as fast as he could - he went back the 2nd year. The coach who recruited him quit during the summer.
So - Another season of nothing.
5 at bats and treated like a broken down mule.
So - he left and fortunately - another scholly - but away from the limelight. All wood bat D2 collegiate league.
Did real well again. Ready for the summer. And on it goes.
It can be a long hard journey for some - but if you love the game - you find a way and keep hitting the **** out of the ball - catching it - and running like a wild dog.
And proving all the "experts" dead wrong. LOL
Tell your son to keep the chin way way up - and kick some ***.
That is my perspective.
