Reply to "Baseball Players Who Play High School Football"

I agree that Football, with it's 2 a days and tough culture is great for raising a gritty athlete.  I have a 2025 LHP who is 6ft 175lbs and wants to play high school tackle football (for the first time!; flag only before!) next season.   I told him flat out "No.  No discussion".   This is a kid who is the 1 or 2 LHP in state.  While he hasn't verbally committed yet like a few of his teammates (crazy people), he's certainly getting a lot of interest.   As much as I like some of the benefits of football, one has to be practical.   While you could get a knee, back, head, clavicle, hand injury just randomly in life, a sport like football in the sophomore year has to exponentially increase the risk.  I feel a little like a helicopter parent but you gotta just do the best you can as a parent.  That one didn't pass my sniff test.
