There's no reason to attend any camps/tryouts this year....yes, he's draft eligible, but that's not happening based on his stats at a small school and his lack of power.    Speed alone won't get you drafted.  My son is at a mid-major....and there are kids like your son everywhere...and a lot of them don't even see the field.  Guys getting drafted out of mid-majors are going to be well into the .300's with a lot more power.  It's likely going to take 10+ HR's for a mid-major OF to get noticed.    To get a look out of a small school, the numbers would have to be even better than that.  Even IF's looking to get drafted need to have some power.  A small school OF with little power is beyond a longshot at getting any real looks, even with great speed.    Sorry if this sounds bad....not trying to sound too harsh, but the summer would be better spent playing on a good college summer team ....getting better and stronger and see what that does for him in college next spring.
