Been reading the site for a few months, and the information given on here is truly remarkable. My first post...We have an interesting situation with my 2018. Out here on the west coast high school track & baseball fall in the same spring season. My son has been a highly ranked Junior Olympic sprinter & long jumper since grade school, but baseball is his passion. We all agreed he'd take the fall off from track to focus on baseball to try to make his high school baseball program, and sure enough he made it, and it looks like he'll definitely be starting in CF and leading off (note - all freshmen at the school play frosh baseball, even if better than the older kids). Now that track season is rolling around a lot of the kids in track are asking him if he plans to come and "help out" the track team once the season starts. He'd very likely run Varsity 100m & 200m as a Freshman, but he has no interest in jeopardizing his status in the baseball program. Anyone out there with a similar experience & advice? Would love for him to keep playing both sports (and to keep his straight A's so far), but tough when they are in the same season?
