Love the Game2, Florida Fan said the key phrase here. There is the old saying " The Rich get Richer" and it applies to what Florida Fan stated.
Our son was on a showcase summer team for several years, it became very obvious who the "stars" were, one just got drafted very high in 2010, the other went onto D1 in 2009 with scholarship. They never sat, the one pitcher pitched during games scouts were attending. The rest of the team was to supplement the two stars. If your son should be offered the D1 scholarship that will open more playing time for him. The minor leagues are full of supplements used to be thrown away.
Do your best to get your son his education, if you can get help through his baseball, that is great. Don't ever think of MLB as being the goal, but a good education that allows him to live a comfortable life.
