Reply to "Position to showcase?"

6'2, 160 at 14 with a mid-80's fastball makes this a simple answer...at least initially.  He'll get SERIOUS interest if you're at a quality showcase...and as others have said, it doesn't matter if he can throw a strike or not.   Realistically, if he gets much taller, the odds of him being a SS are going to get slimmer and slimmer.  A 6'5 kid with a cannon in college is going to be 1) a pitcher or 2) an outfielder....assuming he can bat.   I wouldn't worry too much about where he plays in the summer, at least for this summer.  By next summer if he's upper 80's, he'll know real fast if colleges are even going to consider him being anything other than a pitcher
