In my state, home schoolers are not allowed to participate in school sports under the current rules so if you were here, the topic of holding back or not (for athletics) would not even be in the discussion.
I submit it's too early to project how well he will be playing HS ball or not. You haven't even transitioned to the 90' diamond. Lotta kids drop out at that point. And I don't think holding him back a year will make that much difference in his physical traits. Just my $0.02.
