Hello all. Long time lurker. I'm the father of a 2025 grad (HS Junior) who very much wants to play college ball. He's a 6'2, 180 RHP/Util player with decent speed on his feet (7.0ish 60) and throws 78-81 last we checked (a year ago). He's an all around high level athlete with 3 sports (CC and basketball) but not a standout in any one area.
He's a great student with an unweighted 3.97 taking everything his small-town HS offers in the way of APs. This equates to around a 4.25 unofficially.
He's aiming for a Ivy/D3 HA schools as mom and dad won't allow him to throw away his academic potential to play ball - and he's 100% on board with that.
Emails sent to college coaches have been met with a mix of camp offers and luke warm interest. He isn't regularly conversing with coaches. We are in a low exposure area 150mi from any metro area but he is playing for a CC asst. coach this summer for travel ball. He's signed up for Showball and PTW this summer as well.
Overall, he's the kind of kid coaches dream about - works hard, quiet leader, uber competitive, and is coachable. Falls short in wow factor. How do we get him noticed and is he just not good enough?
