It's exciting for sure, among other emotions, and definitely a time of rapid change; in many ways the kid who comes home from college after his or her first year is not the same person you packed off to school in September. Big changes for the parents too, and they can be very difficult. Unlike a lot of us, sounds like you have your head screwed on right, at least in terms of the baseball stuff, so you should be fine. Agreed that every inning from here on is gravy, but still, just thinking about it, I'm excited about my son's school's 2020 season and can't wait to see the lineup and watch the first pitch.
