Anything 30 is over is great for the ACT...however most schools will offer more academic money as you go up....so yes, 32 would be better than 31. There's no hurt in taking it again. Both my kids did...and improved significantly from the first time to the second. My daughter went 29-31-32 in 3 attempts....my son went 29-31 in two. If your son hits a 32 or more, it will be well worth giving up a Saturday morning. Can't help you with the SAT as it's not very common here in the Midwest...neither of mine took it...and it was never mentioned by any college my daughter applied to....or any coach/RC that my son talked to.

With regard to baseball.....no, it likely won't matter....my son was a 3.5 gpa and a 31....and had some Ivy's show interest
