My son is in his Freshman year. His school is shallow on talent, and it does not look good for the next couple of years. He is a pitcher, and is getting killed on errors, and lack of run support. It is tough to see him pitch a complete game only to lose due to errors on routine plays, etc. We hope it will get better, but it won't. Not to mention the politics and parents, but you have that everywhere.
I can transfer him to a school with better talent, coaching, etc. His goal is to play college ball. He has the grades and the ability. Is winning at the high school level all that important, or should he just learn a lesson in loyalty and take the lumps with his school?
He likes his school and his friends there, but he is clearly getting frustrated. Should he just ride out a bad high school team and hope he gets noticed through his summer travel team and showcases? My gut feeling is to have him ride it out. Learning loyalty will take him a long way through life. Thanks for any advice.
