I agree with JBB, you truly never know until the time comes. You will most likely get an idea based on how your son competes with his peers. In the end, these are the kids he will be competing against for HS. Some kids are "late bloomers", but most kids, in my experience, that make the HS team could have been picked out at 9 or 10. Yes there were a few I thought would be on the team that quit baseball for various reasons, but there were none on son's team that "shocked" me. Our HS team was basically the same kids that made All-Stars, etc all through rec ball. I think the kid has to have some level of talent, but hard work will also take you a long way and get you passed a LOT of kids with more athletic ability.
