They are all a piece of the puzzle. Since college baseball season and HS baseball season happen at the same time, it is not always possible for college coaches to see HS games. So summer becomes really important. My advice to your son for 2024 is to attend one or two showcases, (Showball, Stanford Camp, Perfect Game) and if possible, a college’s camp. College camps allow him to get a feel for the staff and facilities and the school itself. I realize this can be costly. Another thing he should do is put together a video of him in action. Not game tape. If he’s a position player, 20-25 swings in the batting cage from different angles and defensive work. As a pitcher, a 25 pitch bullpen. 15 from behind him and 10 from his glove side. If possible, add metrics like exit velocity off the bat or pitching velo. The HS season is important because coaches will want to see, at least through statistics, that he had a really good, even dominant performance. Hopefully you have a travel coach who will excuse him once in a while to attend these events.
