My son has been given the green light to explore options for college baseball by people that know him well and that I trust. Now I’m just looking for opportunities where my son might get lucky.
What do you mean your son has been given the green light to explore options? I think you are saying evaluators are saying he will be good enough to play in college somewhere?
You should drop talking about age in your posts or more importantly if you are talking to coaches about your son and bring up his age. Forget it, it's not relevant. My son is a Junior in college now and a few Freshmen coming in are older, age does not matter, you are the grade you are unless you take gap years or switch schools and stay back a year. I was once talking to a new pitching coach about how my son was young for his grade (younger than yours for his grade by the way) and that coach very politely and correctly put me in my place (D1 pitching coach).
Congrats on the good year for your son and good luck on your journey.
