Reply to "Old Timers, Please Weigh In!"

Maybe he is not ready for it to be a grind? Maybe he is not ready to start worrying about timelines , recruiting , showcaseing , etc etc? Maybe he is moving into a new phase in his life and he wants to experience some other things? Maybe he is feeling pressure or has felt pressure to do certain things and he just wants to be a hs student and play some ball without all the extras?

I would back off and just let him be a 14 year old kid. Let him find his own way right now. Let it just be a game right now. As he gets older and he sees the end of the hs years approaching if he wants to move on in the game he will figure it all out. Every kid is not wired the same. If you back off and let him sort things out he will. And if he is a good kid who is doing good in school your very lucky. He will be fine. Some kids are just not ready to start preparing for college baseball when they are 14 years old. Let him enjoy hs and hs baseball without all the other stuff loaded on his back. JMHO
