I didn't know to put this under showcase forum or general items so I stuck it in both areas.I know this is something that has been hashed over time and time again and I am sure it will become clearer as my son gets closer to that time in presenting himself in a showcase. However,what do you do if you have a kid that is batting .500 and has a sweet left handed swing that is beginning to show some power and has been able to hit to both sides of the field and plays first base and the outfield positions with good defensive success. Yet, he also has learned to change speeds, has an awesome change up, and an 80 mile per hour fast ball at 14 years old from the left side? What do you concentrate on over the next year ? Do you let him play all these positions when he is in a showcase or play one position in one showcase another position in another showcase and so on?

You have him transfer to my school.

Next question. Smile

LOL That's what I was thinking! I was getting ready to ask where in KY the kid goes to school... I know a couple coaches who could use him!

Seriously, IMO, you let him do both in a showcase. He may get more experience doing one or the other in HS depending on need. No reason for him to narrow things down when he's showing his stuff during a time designed for exposure.
