Unless your son is a baseball stud, I am with those that say push your son academically, it will open more opportunities and help pay more bills later on in his life.
@fenwaysouth Since DK came from a family of engineers, he attended a magnet middle school for engineering, so we had same discussion going into HS about following through at the HS magnet program vs local HS but chose baseball.
What's ironic is that he later chose a school with a very good engineering program to attend for baseball, but Coach Leggett had told him baseball and engineering usually don't work together with a D1 schedule.
Go figure.
