Reply to "Advice for Incoming Freshman (High School Version)"

My advice, if you have any say (which is doubtful). is to ask the coach to play on the team where you will see the field. Our coach pulled my son up several times freshman year, to varsity, where he sat. Sophomore year, he was one of 2 sophomores on varsity and sat 75% of the time. He asked coach to let him play JV if he wasn't going to pitch, and he did. Son said it was the most fun he had that season. Junior year he started. Senior year we had Covid. He really didn't get much of a HS career. He is definitely the kid who doesn't care if he can say he is on varsity, he just wanted to play, and had a. very stacked team in his position. As this year has taught us, you never know what you will get. Play, work hard and enjoy it.
