I know my son is still far out, but should myself and others in my position "encourage" their sons to try different positions other then 1b and 3b? While my son isn't the fastest he has gotten faster. I don't need to worry about 60 time yet, but I am just looking down the road in a couple of years to when he plays in HS (the good Lord willing!)
You play where you’re needed. But on his high school summer travel team he should ask to get some outfield training and playing time.
It’s ironic parents of young players often think getting placed in the outfield is a “You suck” label. Being able to play outfield well is often a faster ticket to varsity if a kid can hit.
