That's great you've been presented options! Kudos to your HC. As with every decision, the most important element is playing time. This summer my son found himself on a gigantic roster in the Perfect Game league and they were rotating reps. He had a great time and loved the group of guys but I wish he wished he got more reps.

That said, my advice is to look up the lineups online to view roster size and reps. If it looks like a big roster and only a few receiving the lion share of AB's or innings, then move on unless you are supremely confident your son will be the guy getting the PT. My son's friend played in the New England League this summer and had less the 20 at bats. What a waste!
