Legion? Your son is heading to college, he should not be playing against 16 year olds. Plus the good high schoolers will be traveling playing against competition. Playing against JV players won't help him get ready for his 22 year old teammates with full beards he'll be competing with for playing time starting in August. I get wanting to play with friends, but once HS ends, it ends. 

OP is in one of the stronger states for American Legion. Though the numbers are down from several years ago, there are still several players that go onto play D1 or otherwise college ball. Again, here is an example where pitchers and position players are handled differently summer after HS. Position players should still get swings and repetitions (unless arm is sore). Son (middle infielder) got no regiment from college coach except for come in healthy and don't try lifting/working out differently than you have (avoiding over exertion).
