It’s a question your son should ask “coach, do you see me as a bullpen catcher or filler depth, or do you think I’ll have a real shot to be in the mix for playing time?”
Also you should do a ton of research looking at rosters. See how many Catchers are on the roster and when they’ll graduate. Also look at at how many JUCO players are on the roster. After that take a close look at the statistics, see how many players are actually getting playing time.
In my sons conference the season is halfway over, several schools in the conference have 15 or 16 players with 20 at bats or more so far this year, some have only 8 players with 20 at bats or more.
