Ohio also has baseball and track in the spring. Our issue isn't kids wanting to play both....it's that football (fall sport here) kids are being convinced to run track by their football coaches....claiming that it will keep them in shape for football. It's ridiculous, as our track practices are minimal once the season starts...and half the kids are also in basketball so they go straight from basketball to track, meaning they're already in good shape. I'm not sure how it would work to do both baseball and track, as I'm thinking there would just be too many conflicts to work out....especially for a position player. Maybe a pitcher could do it...if the baseball coach was willing to schedule him around track meets....but not sure it could work with a CF
