Have to get over the age thing, my kids will both be 17 when starting college. Control what you can control.
I'd argue that doesn't matter in baseball like it does in football/basketball as it isn't a contact sport. What matters is what you've seen, IMO. The kid played USSSA super-NIT majors tournaments at 12-13. As such he saw some way mature kids throwing very well. Stepping onto the varsity field as a freshman was no big deal.
