wave - it really boils down to is discovering what your son has a passion for. If he has a passion for tennis, volleyball, golf, etc he will tend to go that direction. If he has a passion for science, math, drama, singing, etc. he will tend to go that direction. If baseball is his passion....he will tend to spend more time playing baseball, even if that includes some standing around time.

From my experience observing the students involvement in my sons high school, there are high and low academic achievers in each sport and extra curricular activity. I don't think that any sport attracts students that are more academically or less academically talented.

My son is also a good student and scores well on standardized tests but he also has a great passion for baseball. I think being a bright student helps him to also have a high baseball IQ and field awareness.
