Reply to "Time off prior to high school freshmen ball"

A position player should continue to work on his hitting year round, there is no break for the bat.

Resting the arm is ok, however you don't want it to lose strength due to lack of use if its not in pain, so taking a month off of throwing might be to long.

In terms of pitching, its all about velocity. if he throws 70 there's not much reason to put him on the mound and behind the plate. If he throws 80, that's good for a HS pitcher and really good for a HS catcher......
