2025 High School Baseball Season

We won't have tryouts until mid March. Winter workouts are just starting here. Son's currently trying to juggle the overlap between a winter school sport and off season baseball training for school and travel for the first time ever as a sophomore. I hope the overlap of the two sports did not put him behind as far skills development. He been lifting and doing sprint training so I think he's good there. But I'd be interested to hear other parents experiences with whether or not they felt playing another sport and doing very little off season baseball training helped or hurt.

Unsure if he will remain on JV or get moved up to Varsity. He will likely sit on the bench on varsity so perhaps JV is a better option for playing time

I do wonder since the competition is so weak in JV if it hurts more than it helps as far as seeing good pitching. He would start there at his primary position like he did last year. He's gained about 20 lbs of muscle since last spring and most likely will remain average in height and statue.

I am definitely proud of the young man he is becoming. Doing very well in school too.

Bb, my son benefited tremendously from jv last year.  Jv competition wasn’t the best, but it helped him with hitting slower pitchers and helped with his confidence.  While he had the ability to play varsity last year, in hindsight I am glad he didn’t.  

winter training is starting here as well, teams announced the 10th or so of March.

it is going to be tough.  We are in the best/hardest division.  We have some good pitchers, but we don’t have that ace throwing in the 90s.   I think it is going to come down to our defense and how well we hit the ball.  We have the potential, it will be fun.  They are taking spring trip this year too, so he is pumped about that.

I can not remember the last time son's high school had a starting pitcher in the 90s. Seems like every year they have two starters that are low to mid 80s that could throw strikes and had solid offspeed pitches. They have had two "closers" that could touch 90, but were not as accurate.

As Area champs the last three years there has been one consistent. His HS teams have had really good hitting. Even games they lost they still out hit the other team. Last season they outscored their opponents 123-19.
