Can A Sophomore Get A Head Start?

Krakatoa -
IMO, I don't see any down side at all, especially if your son explains the "out of the country" in his intro letter. Good Luck!

Krakatoa,
I agree with RHP05parent. I think that's a great idea. I personally would capitalize on the "out of country" status and use it to my advantage. If nothing else your son’s situation is unique and will make an impression. I don’t know everything about your son’s situation but I would clarify on the front end any concerns you THINK the coach might have about travel, passports, citizenship, academic core credits, etc.

No problems there, we're all as American as apple pie - just working over here (often much to my chagrin!)

Okay, we'll get started and see what's what. Thanks RHP and Fungo.

In this case, It wouldn't hurt to put together a tape of him taking some grounders, swinging, throwing, etc.... It can be homemade, just enough to show arm strength, footwork, batspeed, etc.

Obviously, once a coach reads his letter (and he tells him he has a homemade tape available, he'll understand that it can't be professionally made over in Korea) it gives him something to go on... if you can establish a relationship, then it may be time to do a summer camp at the colleges that seem interested and open to not being able to scout him directly.

I feel he'll need to participate in one of the college summer camps so the coaches can get to know him better.

Sometimes we make more out of things than we should

Having read you posts since you have been a member you seem to have done what is the right thing

Hopefully we will get a chance to see you son next year and be able to assist you

I would welcome the opportunity!
