There is a well known MLB scouting director here in SoCal who did the same thing for his son.The kid graduated from 8th grade in 2010 and was home schooled the next year.He is now a 2015 early commit to a PAC 11 school.This strategy worked well for the boy(he is a very good RHP)

I know lots of people hold their kid(s) back for all sorts of reasons.Personally,I never gave it any thought for my son.He will start college in the fall as a 17 year old.
