My son has been a Freshman for one day now and came home with football equipment after going to the open gym at the high school..lol. He played football for a couple of years when younger so that isn't my concern. My concern is that this is the first time he has ever really worked out in his life. Will lifting for football be bad for his baseball ability? I would think it would be ok as he needs to put some muscle mass on him. He is a fairly solid kid 6' tall and around 165-170lbs (still growing as he is only 14). I don't know much about football workouts but I wouldn't think he'd bulk up too much during football season to really affect his baseball season..other then he'd be much stronger going into the season. He is a pitcher so do I have to worry about his "tightening up", or is that an old wives tale and I'm worried about nothing.
