Reply to "Baseball Players Who Play High School Football"

Middle and youngest son were three sport athletes.  football and basketball.  Middle son's biggest regret may be turning down dual sport offer from Kentucky in football and baseball.  His problem was football would have been the primary so anytime football was doing anything it was priority in fall or spring.  Thought he had a chance to be drafted so walked away from it.

Youngest son played all three until senior year.  We moved after his football season junior year so he would have had to learn a new offense as QB for one year and our line was really bad.  His best friend had been QB previous 4 years and told him it was not much fun running for his life every play.

His senior basketball season he met with the coach and told him he would play but would not be as aggressive as he had been in the past.  He transitioned from an attack guard who always was going full speed and driving the ball to a set up shooter.  Made all-region his senior year and led the team in scoring.

I don't think college coaches care whether you play dual sports but they want players who could play dual sports.  But I did look at our P5 roster from last year and of the guys who started or had significant innings only 2 were baseball only in HS.  The rest played dual sports and almost all played three sports.
