Is this someone doing you a favor? Or is it something you're paying a nominal fee? That is one big 13 year old. If he loves to pitch, I would make sure you manage his innings carefully and don't let him chase excess velocity while his growth plates are still fragile. To that effect, he should probably do what PAbaseball says and still play multiple positions. My 2025 was actually always a good hitter in youth ball. But he was a stocky lefty who loved to pitch. He got placed on the 1 team for a large organization and was declared a PO at age 14 by the director who was an ex-mlb player. Busted up his elbow at age 16 and is still not fully back. Meanwhile he started hitting again and has been doing well in HS ball against some very good pitching. He's committed as a pitcher to a D3 but I get the feeling he could possibly hit (also or instead). He's appropriately fast for a D3 but admittedly fielding is kinda suspect due to lack of reps. Moral is... I think you should listen to as many qualified people as possible but keep your options open.
