Hard to figure. Your thoughts?

What grade? Is he coachable? What is his reputation from his hs coach and summer coach? What kind of scholarship is he looking for? Has he welcomed interest from all schools? What are grades like?
My sons juco roommate was outfielder who was 6'1 175lbs, 6.7 60 and 94 from outfield. He had 2 juco offers and no D1. Grades and ACT scores killed him.
It is not always about baseball.

Grades are 3.7 GPA unweighted. SAT is 1700. Coaches love the kid. I don't know what the reputation of his summer coaches on the circuit.  It is a top tier showcase team however.  Lots of kids committed or drafted each year.

My guess is he did not respond to small schools although I have no idea. By small schools I'm referring to Juco and D2. I'm not sure if that's what you are asking.

This has always sounded really dumb to me, but my college coach told me this my freshman year and it makes sense - D1 coaches are hesitant to go after guys who's primary tool(s) are contact/power because if the guy starts slumping then they have lost their ability to impact a game. Looking at guys I played with and where they went to school, that notion makes a lot of sense. Smaller, fast players with strong arms generally got to a higher level than a guy who hit .360 with 10 HR that were slow with average arm speed in my area in HS/showcase (which is solid baseball in NC). With the D1 power numbers tailing off the last few seasons, the cookie cutter position player has really taken over where your first baseman and your center fielder are very similar players.

 

As a rising senior there is still time. I would go ahead and touch base with some D2 programs that are good in your area, or nationally for that matter depending on where he might be interested in playing. That will provide a nice cushion in case the mid-majors or targeted major programs don't work out. If he has a healthy year off the bump then some schools will probably come out of the wood work to sign him as an arm / 2 way. Mid-major D1's will still be recruiting this fall as well, so showcases at their home fields should be something to look into as well. No reason to worry, a lot can happen in 10 months. Your son just needs to keep doing his thing, communicate with coaches and programs, and find the best fit for him academically and athletically. Don't get caught up in divisions, as there are many D2's and strong NAIA programs that can slap around lower mid majors.

Where does he play in the field when not pitching?

How would you rate his athleticism on a scale of 1-5?

You also have to evaluate what she has done to get her son in front of the schools he is interested in - and making sure they know he is interested.

 

Colleges aren't just looking at PG results and saying "Hey this kid looks good - let's make him an offer."

 

Really, unless you are a true standout stud the colleges aren't going to be chasing you - you've got to chase them.
