My son is a HS Freshman. He has been working out 2-3 times per week at the HS gym and going for speed and agility 2x a week. He is primarily a pitcher. HS tryouts start Match 5.

We are wondering if we should stop the workouts before the tryouts start. My thoughts were to stop the upper body workouts with weights about 2 weeks before. Legs he could continue until the tryout and maybe into the season. The speed agility I think we can keep through the season.

Thoughts?

If he is feeling tight he might have to do with what he is not doing and when he is lifting. As a head baseball coach we have already started practice and my players are doing heavy lifting still 3 days a week, so there should not be in problem. We lift after practice and then the players static stretch when they are done. If you are lifting before you are throwing or you are not stretching after you lift this could be causeing the tightness.
