He won't get college looks as a 1B, you are correct. He's very fast and moving to CF makes sense but I just watched a speedy 2B transition to CF for the same reason you are mentioning (wouldn't get looks at 2B). His issue is he did it this summer with a travel team and he's a 2020. Great fielders can make the transition HOWEVER he looked so uneasy out there. Great CF you can just see, great first step, track everything down, strong arms, leaders... If he can't get reps often and soon D1 will pass you by quickly (unless his 60 drops another .25 which it really might given his age). On pitching speed kids develop at different times. Do not take him off the mound! Pitchers get recruited in large numbers vs other positions. If your D1 dreams fall through his arm could get you into a great D3 baseball program too.
