Here is the scenario:

2015 had very good HS season - Some solid recognition - Team advanced deep into playoffs limiting early summer exposure - injured early in summer missed 2 key events - all star game - area code tryouts - has played well since return facing some top D1 committed pitching in the region - attended showcase event - positive feedback from a couple of juco/small college coaches - asked him to stay in touch exchanged cell #'s etc - he is expanding geography of coaches he is reaching out to - Any concerns with naming pitchers/schools they are committed to in email to coaches to illustrate type of pitching you are competing with who may not be as familiar with the area? Or is that insulting a coaches intelligence? No opportunity for exposure in the fall due to football. Thanks.

They are not going to make a decision on who he faced, they are going to make a decision on what they see. I would have him send his schedule and that's it. They will know the level of play based on the events. I would include a bio if he has not already done so with some video links. Line up a JUCO and see what happens. Local JUCO's will likely be out during the HS season recruiting kids also.

BOF is right - they just need to see him to make up their own mind.

Best of luck, there is still enough time to get it done if the talent is there.
