My 13 hasn't completely shut down, he's throwing nice and easy once a week for about 2-1/2 months while playing round ball and then we'll start getting serious again.
My youngest also plays football (QB) so he throws a football right after the baseball season ends. His rest comes at the end of football season,November to January, when workouts with his travel team start.
Good eye,
Does your son notice a tired arm after baseball and quarterbacking? Just kind of curious if one or the other is more tiring.

No, it doesn't seem to affect him. The hardest thing about doing both is that the throwing motion is different for football. He does rotator cuff exercises to strengthen his arm, too.
We shut down our kids from November to January. For the entire month of January, we start working on getting the arms back in shape. Our pitchers do not throw from the mound until early February.
