Reply to "Skipping summer season?"

What's a DH?  In baseball it means "designated hitter".

I thought Iowa high schools play their season all summer.  Do you mean freshman ball is done and those not on varsity play in summer leagues?

Your son should ask the high school coach for an evaluation of the season, what he needs to work on, and ideally should include a discussion of what he's doing in the summer.

Playing on a dad-ball team with inexperienced players can be miserable, or it can be fun.  Depends on the coach, the kids, and what your son wants out of it. We knew dad-ball teams through 18U with kids who didn't make any level of high school team at all.  They did it because their kids wanted to play baseball.

13 kids is really very minimal for a summer team; some will get injured, take vacation, etc. and the team will be scrambling.
