Reply to "Small plus defensive CF"

Your specific question is "what type of college environment can he aspire to, if any?  

Realistically, it is too early to tell.  Based on his size, your assessment as a late bloomer and his other measurables remaining a work in progress (and the fact that you didn't rave about his hitting), he won't get recruited any time soon by any level.  And since he is a likely late bloomer with neither parent having significant size, the most likely level eventually will be D3/NAIA.  That is not to say that he can't eventually become a 6.7 speed guy and develop into a great hitter along with his great routes and transfers and get attention at higher levels.  Just unlikely at this point.  

Unfortunately, the skill set that is his strength (great routes and transfers) is not as important to recruiters as hitting, arm strength, speed, etc.  So, he will have to get bigger, stronger, faster and most importantly, become a very good hitter against good pitching in order to get college attention.  The good news is he is a 2022 and has time to grow and work into being that player.
