Not really, no. We didn’t spend much money at all on travel ball until my kid was in high school and it was clear that he was going to work hard on becoming a college player.
I didn’t let him pitch much at all and saved his arm from coaches trying to chase trophies. My main emphasis as a Dad at that age was making sure he learned how to be respectful, learned some discipline, got good grades and kept the damn cell phone out of his hands. In terms of Baseball I made sure he had fun.
