My son is a pitcher, 6'1", 175, RHP. He had a nerve issue in his right elbow where after about 50 pitches, the muscle was rolling over the nerve and would start to irritate him. So, he had surgery during his high school junior year season to move the nerve. His high school coach suggested he do it then so that he would be fully healed and ready to throw in time for fall ball. So, he's training this summer and getting his speed back, etc., but he's not playing any summer baseball.
We have never taken him to any camps or done anything other than let him play high school baseball. So, he's never had any exposure except to our local baseball high school coach. I'm wondering if he has a chance of being recruited or playing in college if he isn't seen by anyone until his senior year. We can't afford to take him to all these different camps to show off his talent, so we're relying on fall ball and his senior year season.
He has decent grades (3.3-3.5), and his SAT's total was 1600 (1050 read/math), and every coach that has worked with him since he was a little guy has remarked that he has an excellent work ethic on the field and is a team leader.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
