Reply to "Appalachian League"

3and2 In my opinion it probably depends on the kid, the position and overall workload.  I'm sure others with more experience can chime in as well.

Kid is a juco catcher (which primarily plays Double Headers) and team typically uses a 2 catcher rotation.  It was somewhat similar on both of the summer leagues he played. From February to August he had exactly 3 weeks and 3 days without games on the schedule.  It comes down to load management and for my son solid communication with his coaches.  His college coaches knew his schedule and gave him the option to report late. His response:  "No chance".

So while I was concerned at times of the volume, he told me this last week that he is in the best shape he has been in for ball.  Definitely better shape than he was in in reporting for his freshman year in '20. Whether that is from the volume or maturity or what remains to be seen.

He is driving the boat now in terms of his career.  I offer advice when asked, and of course "funding".
