Sure, it will be a little late, but at this point he needs to be in top form and really impressing those who see him. If he doesn't show well at this point, he'll get written off and have no chance with whoever sees him. Get your son healed up for the HS season and when he's better, have him send out some emails to schools with his HS schedule. Then make sure the right people see him next summer. There's still a chance he can get picked up, but he needs to be healthy and at his best when he's being seen. Best of luck to him!!
you do remember correctly. The kid is starting to feel cursed. Trying hard to keep his spirits up. This last one was caused by an errant 90mph fastball thrown by a kid who apparently hadn't pitched in a month and had no idea where the ball was going. He was really, really bummed.
