That's a tough one. My son (freshman 2024) didn't play 14u travel fall of 8th grade in order to get bigger faster stronger , and then middle school ball got cancelled. By the time travel finally started he was bigger, stronger, and a bit faster but his live pitch swing timing was off, so it took a while for his groove to come back... Didnt help that we would play one weekend, take two off , etc. I guess my sense is that you should play summer ball and still try to squeeze in workouts as much as possible (maybe your mom can find time to drive you to the gym?). Summer ball may not happen as much as we would like this year (that UK variant is worrisome) so take advantage of chances to play games when you can.
