2020 son attended a DII prospect camp a month ago as a PO. He was the only 2020 attending, it was very top heavy with 2017 and 2018. 40+ players attended . He was invited by a current member of the schools pitching staff, that he occasionally works out with.
After a few drills and a bullpen session,he took the mound and and pitched to a 3-4 batters. He did well, struck two out and induced a ground ball ( this went well since in his words " my bullpen sucked"). Pitching coached stopped him after pitching and asked what high school he played for, what travel team he played for, who was his coach and where was his travel ball teams home field. Son didn't think much of it, didn't even tell me of the conversation until the following day. He was more worried about his first date coming up, homecoming. The next day I encouraged him to email the pitching coach, so he thanked him for the help and encouragement and that he will hopefully be attending another camp in the future. This was a learning opportunity since this was the first email he has ever sent. Coach responded by thanking him for attending and that he will be seeing him at a baseball field soon. A few days later he received a letter from the university's head coach with an evaluation of what they saw. Good arm strength for age, told him to stand tall and drive to the catcher. Mechanically he has a very good base and they liked his size, 6'2.5 190lbs. Also told him to trust himself and his stuff. The last comment was that they will be keeping an eye on his development.
Here it comes people, my question is..... Should anything be read into these two correspondences or are these both just basic contact after attending a prospect camp? Could this mean he is on their radar now?
Sorry if it sounds like I'm asking for someone to read the "tea leaves". I'm just new to all this.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
... he got good overall feedback. It's early. Many will drool over his size, warranted or not. Don't let it get to his head. He should keep working hard, get good instruction, get good direction, enjoy playing, enjoy HS and have a great time at that HOMECOMING!!!!!
