My son is a 2017. 3.75 GPA with some honors classes as a freshman. He is a lefty pitcher with good mechanics, great control. 5'10" 150lbs. Plays on a pretty good travel team(went 37-14 last year playing in Triple Crown and Perfect Game, played up an age level about 50% of the tourneys) Hit 80 in the summer, lives around 75-78fb with 65-69os. His travel coaches (one is a pitching coach whose son was a four year starter at a D1, who was drafted this past year, one was a three sport all American at a major D1) have both said that he has "it". that if he keeps progressing at the rate he is going that he will definitely be a D1 prospect. I try not to be that dad who thinks that his son is better than he really is and try to remain somewhat skeptical. Yes he pitches well but he is not blowing anyone away, and at 5'10" I am not sure that he will get to, much less over 6'. He has made the All tournament team in 3 of the 5 Perfect Game Tourneys that he has pitched in.
That being said:
I have been reading posts on this board for the last six months or so and to tell you the truth, there is SO much information on here that it is easy to become overwhelmed.
My question, I purchased a video camera at the beginning of this fall season and have been videoing his pitching. At the end of the fall season I plan to edit this down to a 4 or 5 minute video labeled Fall Sophmore year.
There is a D1 school with a very good baseball program that offers a degree in his intended field that is also very close to where we live. This is one of only two schools that he has listed in his Perfect game bio.
Would it be too early for my son to send an email to this coach and say "Hey, I am only a sophomore, but I am very interested in your school and would like to send you a link to a short video of my outings this fall. ?
Thanks in advance.
