Reply to "Summer Prior to College"

"I'd argue that while seeing high level pitching over the summer can't hurt there are other things to consider. Stressing out about grades, new coaches, teammates, surroundings, etc doesn't make for ideal condition's to excel on the field."

My advice is based upon experience, and will vary by location and talent....to a limited degree.

Not being able to hit college level pitching in the fall "tryout" is a serious stress "inducer" and potential career ender (or makes for a redshirt year). If your son doesn't look ready to hit college level pitching, he'll get fall ab's against the walk-on pitchers when the coach isn't watching.......
