He plays 2b/SS and also pitches. We haven’t really figured out which way
he’ll ultimately go.

Focus on:

MIF development (feet, glovework, arm slot - put the time in to finding a former collegiate MIF and work with him.)

Strengthen the bat where he can be considered a hitter.

Speed and Strength

Find a way to play on an area club team where he will play. He’ll need the reps. The big strength gains will come in the fall and winter. BUT, he should be getting min 2x workouts per week in summer.

Emphasis is skill and strength, but find a way to get reps at the plate and in field with some local team.

Edit: save his arm, get stronger, improve throwing motion...
