As keewart suggested, a few leagues will allow an incoming Freshman to play in a collegiate summer league. That's what my 2015 rising freshman will be doing. It will be a grind - 56 summer games, but he is an RHP, so his work will be more spread out. He'll be jumping into the deep end of the pool right away, I guess we'll find out if he can get high level collegiate hitters out pretty soon. The League actually starts play a few days before he graduates. He'll be living with a host family. The offer came to him through his college coach, though I think it was the collegiate team that likely initiated the conversation. He signed his contract back in early September.
