I was wondering this myself, but with baseball and basketball. My son is a catcher and worried about the hoops schedule in January interfering with his ability to catch bull pens and work with the pitching staff. He's a freshman and will most likely be JV for hoops and varsity for baseball.
The coaches seem supportive but the baseball coach seems to change his demeanor when we ask about January. I get the feeling he would prefer my son only play baseball but that he doesn't want to tell him.

Read the thread on catchers and showcasing. Your son is a freshman, will he get playing time on varsity baseball or will he just be a bullpen catcher? How much playing time does he expect as a freshman? It is all about reps. Let him enjoy school and sports. Save his knees for the summer.
