I agree completely and have said that repeatably, I like to see kids play multiple sports. Especially at the younger ages. However this should only happen if they enjoy and want to play other sports. Not because it will develop them into better baseball players or athletes.

Thank you PGStaff.

I also have to wonder what it means to be a "multi-sport" athlete. Does it require being on an official team? Or is it enough that he plays 2 pick up football games a week with the neighborhood kids, plays hundreds of games of basketball in the driveway, and swims in the pool about 10+ hours a week? When a coach says "Do you play other sports"...what is the qualifier for that?
