To echo what BOF said, for a pitcher, I don't think the P5 thing is quite as important. Looking at the Fangraphs 2019 draft board current rankings,, the first college pitcher on it is George Kirby of Elon, the second is Jackson Rutledge of San Jacinto JC, the third is Alex Manoah of West Virginia (a P5), the fourth is Seth Johnson of Campbell.

Or look at last year's Cy Young voting. In the AL, of the top 4, Snell was a HS pick, but Verlander went to Old Dominion, Kluber went to Stetson, and Sale went to Florida Gulf Coast. In the NL, deGrom went to Stetson, Scherzer and Nola were P5 guys (Missouri and LSU), and Freeland went to Evansville.

Point being: if he wants to maximize his baseball results as a pitcher, P5 is one path, but it's not the only path.
