My son, a 2013, has been asked for the past two years to come out for basketball. Yes he would like to play but he is 16. He does not fully understand the demands playing and practicing would put on his schedule as he has not experienced it. He simply would not have the time to long toss, lift free weights, work on his swing etc. He would get home from away games at midnight, run till you puke practices etc... Couple this with probably some 5 to 10 lb weight loss (excess pounds are not an issue) during the season. He will not play college hoops either.
I asked him both years when he came to me with this if he wanted to still strive for playing at the highest level in baseball after HS. He said yes. I told him that makes the decision for you.
God bless those who say you can play football, basketball etc and still want to max your opportunity to play in college baseball... maybe if you are Jim Thorpe.
