What is his goal? How much will he play in the spring? How high is his skill set? For example, going to the Cape and sitting because he is over his head would be a poor selection. For a player who is a Pro Prospect, it would be a good fit. Northwood teams play far more games than most and emulate a MILB season in that regard. Some leagues have a big drop off if you are not on a certain team. Lots of nuances in finding the right fit. He should ask one of the coaches where they think he would best develop. Then ask older teammates their experiences at those leagues. The board here can offer insights as well. If he has an Agent/Advisor, they will have input.
- Add Appalachian League to your list.
- There are many other less known leagues as well. Tons of reps and being a big fish in a smaller pond can be useful too. Often closer to home, making it easier for family to see him play.
