Perhaps if you provide a little additional information than some folks can help in pointing you in the right direction. One of you posts has your son at 6-1 135. Perhaps what other pitches does he have? More importantly, what schools are agreeable, whether geographically, academically, etc.? The more information, the better you can then start putting together a target list. No idea about OK, but JUCO route still has lots of opportunity for 2017 grads.

Welcome to the site... I agree with Screwball, more info would be helpful and it is certainly not too late for JC's or other D3, NAIA opportunities. In most areas, most JC's have a very local flavor and the coaching staff is familiar with the local talent. Are there JC's in your immediate area? Has your son had dialog with them? Based on his weight, I assume he hasn't really physically matured yet. Does he project to get much bigger or taller? Has he played much travel ball? Are there...

My son is still looking. He is a SR class2017.He is 6'1 135lbs. We live in OKlahoma He is a RHP. Throws in high 70's to low 80's. Throws 2seem,fast ball, mean curve ball,sinker. He also plays IF but loves pitching first. Have been to many showcases this year and last.

No I think he's doing growing tall. He has been lifting wts. and building up but he's just a skinny boy. No he goes to a very small school and the coaches don't help their students much. He has asked the coaches about getting help to play ball but this is year 2 and know one helps. We have emailed coaches both at Jr. college and University. He has got to showcase for a couple of them. But a lot we have not heard from. He plays summer ball and has played all his HS years. Been to many...

OK, you mentioned earlier that he only has one scholarship offer. He can only go to one school, right? So one is enough if it is a school that is a fit. Realistically, high 70's, low 80's from a 2017 RHP isn't going to solicit much immediate college attention (let alone MLB) and probably little or nothing from a baseball scholarship standpoint unless he has a lot of credible success against verifiable competition (i.e. - a good travel team). Many questions still haven't been answered. Good...

Didn't want CABBAGEDAD's comments to passed over as advice to a single poster. Those types of responses are what got me hooked on this site. I am sure CABBAGE has done this before, but took the time to do it again and will probably keep on doing it as long as folks have questions. THANKS for the time and continued effort! TINAJ - Really good advice. If you want, please provide a generic version of the offer your son currently has (no names, no specifics) and maybe outline what are the good...

Thanks Screwball. I meant to add to Tinaj regarding this statement... "His career goal is to be a MLB player, but if that fails he wants to coach HS or college baseball." I am not one to advocate telling a player he shouldn't/couldn't chase his dreams. However, at some point, it makes sense to check the progress meter and adjust goals and dreams. As a senior in HS, in addition to chasing the baseball dream, he should also have a backup or primary plan for his career. How is he going to make...

Just curious if your son has found a place to go to school. Best of luck, hope he finds a great school to allow him to play some more baseball and get the education he is looking for. BBB

My son is 6'2 175 lb outfielder who runs a 4.7 second 60. He is 2017 Senior wanting to play Junior College preferably in Florida. He is 3 year Varsity Starter currently batting .390 from the leadoff position. He is 3 year American Legion All star Below are links that contain a scouting report from the Connecticut American Legion All Star game. The second link is to my high school stats from my Junior season. http://www.prepbaseballreport. com/profiles/CT/Justin-Miller- 4813062957#tab2...

Welcome to the site. I'm not quite sure if you are dad or player - your post says "my son" but then says "my HS stats.." Doesn't matter, your questions and contributions are welcome either way. That said, I'm also not exactly sure what your question is. If you are asking if it is feasible to play JC ball in Florida, all we have to go by is your numbers. Video would help. Based purely on the numbers, your speed, power and arm strength do not appear to stand out among college players, in fact...

Since he is a 2017, it is pretty late in the process, but it is not too late. At this point in the process, I would get video to as many JC coaches as I could. Cabbage is right about Florida. The competition will be stiff. Get to as many showcases this summer as you can. It only takes one good performance in front of the right guy to make it happen. Good luck!

Ive got a kid who is still looking, a friend of my son. He's 6'2" 215, throws mid eighties and also plays first base-great hitter. If you can help him, let me know and I will send you his info. Thanks,
