My (2021 Sophomore) grandson is a starting Outfielder on his HS Varsity team. He wants to play baseball at the highest level his skills allow but doesn’t want to over or under estimate what level of college ball he is best suited for. He is 6’3”, 185 lbs., 60 Yard Dash: 7.0, Pull-Down Throwing Velocity: 88mph, Hitting Exit Velocity: 95+ mph.
He got a nice write-up by Prep Baseball Report for being very athletic with excellent Bat Speed. Because he is only a Sophomore the recruitment cycle hasn’t really started, but he has been seen by one D1 and three D2 coaches and all have said he would be on their follow list.
On the field he makes plays look easy and can really crush the ball having already hit a 420+ foot home run. As his grandpa I think he’s great, but would like some honest feedback as to which level he should realistically target for college recruitment.
thanks for your feedback.

What state does he live in?
