My son is a low angle rhp, 85-87. Cut after freshman yr. Played in summer collegiate league where he did pretty well; era under 3, baa under .115 whip under 1.15. Led league in appearances. Coach told him he was not good enough to pitch D1. He and others disagree so he is giving it another try. Any advice/thoughts?

Yeah, one coaches opinion shouldn't not be the final word. So if one's got the tenacity to keep swimming against the stream. . . go for it.
On the other hand, one needs to weigh the issues concerning academics and what one's goals are there.
Is he enrolled at the same DI where he was cut, or at a JuCo right now? If he's playing JuCo, I would say to take the best opportunity that comes from that experience (and summer league). That might be another DI, or it might be DII/DIII. It's mostly about getting a degree and playing the game he loves, right?
