Some dads of young high school players have posted threads about their sons and their situations. Be patient. Your son is not the 14U or 15U stud anymore. High school is 18/19U ball. Yes your son may have more potential in his pinkie than the junior or senior in the lineup. But your son may not be ready mentally, emotionally or strength wise.
From the regulars on this board I'll bet we could fill in one hundred posts of what "happened" to our kids freshman or sophomore year. But it would be much easier if you follow the positive advice I'm sure they would all provide ... If a kid has talent, a solid work ethic and a positive attitude it will all work out.
There's a poster on this board whose son has been on the short end of the stick for three years of high school ball. Other players were favored due to their LL and Babe Ruth team's reputation. With the high school team's success it's hard for the kid to complain he got less of a chance and have it recognized. But it happened. The kid worked hard on his summer team. He's headed for a D1 program next year.
