I don't know if anyone has ever heard of a kid getting picked up during/after his senior season (that wasn't a pitcher and/or not by a juco) but any stories, and of course advice, would be welcome. Needless to say, I'm secretly preparing myself for the end of baseball for him, which is sad but not the end of the world by any means. If he is able to play on then I figure we're in the bonus!
I know a 2018 OF who tore his labrum June after junior year (so similar to your son's timing) -- obviously missed summer and fall recruiting. Had surgery in September (after trying PT), went through re-hab, etc., but even in the Spring of senior year his arm wasn't fully recovered. He took a different approach, I guess -- got admitted to a school he really wanted to attend (a P5), and walked onto the baseball team. Made the team, and just got his first AB this past weekend. Is walking on* a path that your son would consider?
*to whatever level of program your son was targeting prior to the injury
