My 2015 is a three-sport athlete as well. During his college recruitment, we found that more coaches often targeted players who play other sports. Part of it is the cross training. One coach said how can I duplicate in an offseason workout, a football player running away from a defenseman, or the amount of running soccer kids do? Other sports too allow time in the weightroom in HS..tough to just get on the schedule. Some schools recruit primarily shortstops, as they tend to be the most versatile and athletic. Another D1 told us he recruits multi-sport athletes because they tend to be "more competitive." Some probably would fear injury though for a pitcher they are eyeing.
