[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 months until tryouts.  Double caloric intake and 5 days/week in the weight room.  Needs to gain 25 pounds.  Batting coach in the fall.   Start throwing program Thanksgiving week. Grind and repeat.  [/quote]

Thank you. This will give him something to work towards.[/quote]

This. Your kid basically has to be able to be able to hit or pitch at JV level at a school where it’s competitive to make the JV team. For hitting will need to be able to regularly hit line drives coming at 75-85 mph pitching in a batting practice to make a team. With a quality nice swing. So if it’s for real possibility if he’s generally athletic - batting coach for hitting for developing a swing with good mechanics. Then reps reps reps and weights/strength training. 
If he has potential for pitching instead - could do similar of building mechanics with a coach, reps and strength (and lots of arm care) 
Lots of teams have kids who are “pitcher only” PO - and a lot of teams will carry a couple kids who can come in to relief or pitch some innings - and then they sometimes get some other opportunities in less competitive games. 
Hitting Clinics with multiple kids can be good for reps but  worth doing a coach to get his swing down.

I was shocked by how focused the baseball thing is for high school. I think I’ve spent the equivalent of buying a car on hitting coaching![/quote]
