Moving rising 16u (grade) back down to his age group

My son has a late birthday and has always played with his age group. He has always been one of the better players on his team. After last fall, his club coach wanted him to move up to play with his grade after dominating fall ball. He can play multiple positions and is a pitcher. He struggled hitting vs hard throwing guys and pitched pretty solid this summer. His club team coach and director of the program got fired over the winter and brought 3 very knowledgeable coaches with him. We were left with a dad coach who helped coach the team. The team had no development throughout the winter and summer. We are looking for a new program in fall and wondering if I should move my son down with his age or keep him up with his grade and with the proper development and prior experience he will fair better
