Reply to "HS Tryout Question"

MOMO,

Thank you for asking your question. It’s pretty common for a guy to play multiple positions at your age. And it’s very common for guys who can pitch to still want to hit.

I agree with the comment of talking to the coaches first. Let them know you are a P, 3B, and OF on your travel team and want to tryout at multiple positions for your HS team.

The coaches will decide whether to let you tryout at multiple positions (they should in my opinion). And after tryouts the coaches will then decide where you best fit...which team, which position. Ultimately, it’s their decision.

I wouldn’t get too hung up about A vs. B squad. It’s great that your school gives a lot of guys a chance to play baseball.

Once you’re on a squad, you work hard and try your best. And you can ask the coaches on that team for more opportunities, particularly if you perform well, are very coachable, and are a great teammate.

Good luck! Let us know how things work out.
