Young Freshman

I think we made the right decision about NOT holding my son back a year. He has a summer birthday and will eventually graduate at 17. However, he's a Major 13U player on one of the bestTexas select teams. Everyone said to hold him back. He's a great Left handed Pitcher and Hitter. He's doing very well with the HS team and pushing alot of the upper classman.

There are alot of kids older than him still in the 8th grade. Will this hurt his development and scholarship chances since he was not held back? Have there been any parents that did it and it worked or did it not? He's a very smart kid in the top 5 of his class. I know baseball is not the answer to it all, but I hope I did not hurt his chances.
