I'm not trying to discourage the kid, but let's get a dose of reality. He's 5'7", RHP, with sub-D1 velocity. The kid's top priority should be SCHOOL. Forgoing a good school to pursue baseball, in his case, doesn't seem right. On the other hand, if he thinks he can go to a good school and walkon and make the team (e.g., he's the best in the country), why not? I'm not his coach, so I don't know how good he is, but if I were--given the stated facts--I would be honest with him and tell him get an education first. Baseball would be a bonus in his situation, not the main priority.
