My son is a pitcher and I've always been strict in him having a light fall workload, then completely baseball free in November and December. I have a bit of a dilemma this year, as he's been invited to pitch in the Goodwill games this December in Australia. It's a great opportunity for him, but I cringe at the thought of him pitching in games, and really trying to get batters out, in December. Still haven't said yes as a result.
