My son will be coming off his freshman year of high school baseball. IYO is he to young to attend a showcase this summer?? His father and I have a diffrence of opinion of this issue. Do you put him out there now so whoever maybe watching can see his progress each year or do you hold him back a year so he can obtain more experience??

Ask yourself, is he...

1. ...seeing varsity pitching yet?

2. ...finished growing?

3. ...on top of every aspect of his game?

It's early for him, as a freshman. If the answer to any of the above is a no, he might want to wait a year. First impressions are important.

What position does he play?I may have a spot on my junior olympic team.

He is a RHP, 1st, and 3rd. Loves to catch but the coaches will not let him anymore due to pitching.

Talent counts more than anything. I know kids that showcased and traveled their butts off since 14 or 15 and never did a thing after high school. The more talent he has, the less he needs to showcase.

IMO, I'll wait another year, there is not hurry, remember he needs to be ready to show his tools. Find a good summer team where he can play. Good luck.
