My son is a 17 year high school and travel team baseball player...Is a daily routine of hitting off a baseball tee in the garage worthwhile?? If so what are the benefits? How many swings? Thanks for any answers.

fielder, Welcome to the HSBBW.
I think any T-Work is beneficial.
You Learn proper mechanic's.
And good hand eye cordination.
Also use all the Tee.
Meaning set it high, set it low, set it inside and outside.
Don't adjust your feet to the Tee, Are to the position of the ball on the Tee.
Learn to take the low outside pitch to the opposite field.
Also Hit the ball from the middle to the inside of the ball.
Meaning don't hook it. Which is pulling the ball.
Hit the inside and Drive it to the gap's.
Is your son a senior or junior?

Son is a junior--plays outfield. Coaches usually have him hit 1 or 2 because he is used to steal bases(during school year has had 100% stolen base %) However, we know it's important for outfielders(does not pitch) to have consistent hitting. Trains with travel team during winter but thought it may be worthwhile to hit off tee daily---any thoughts appreciated.
