Reply to "Baseball & Track co-existing in HS?"

First off, many thanks to all that have replied. I think whatever the issues are, this site seemingly can come up with numerous real life answers in short order and thats a remarkable service. As suggested by several of you, 2018 plans to talk to both coaches next week after winter break. Since 6th grade he has had USATF coaches telling him he was a no-brainer for college track, the thing is he looks at track like a "job" and baseball is what he really enjoys. If he was a mid-level player at baseball it would be easy to push him to track, but he's already 6'1 and can obviously run - he should have at least a nice four year run of high school & travel baseball here, and we don't want to be pushing him into something he doesn't want to do anymore. This newfound enthusiasm for track is due to the baseball program running their timed 60's and 200's and him having the top times in the whole program as a frosh. Makes him realize there is a special gift there should he choose to pursue it. I'd love for him to do the multi-sport thing to avoid burnout, just wish they weren't in the same season! Hopefully the program can be like d8's and be open to him doing both, if not he'll keep the focus on baseball. Thanks to all again!
