His coach is already telling the team to be baseball ready. Why does OP need to coach from the sidelines? That’s so annoying. They’re little kids

My 12 year old still does this. I don’t think baseball is his sport, but his dad keeps pushing.

Part of me finds it hilarious and part of me wonders if it annoys the coaches, who seem good natured but remind him to stay on task. I have to say, it does make the game marginally more entertaining. My question - if it were your kid, would you say something or let the kid dance the night away?

You tell him to listen to the coach. How old is he? Likely beyond the cute stage when he isn't listening.

I would be more understanding up to about 3rd grade. After that, cut it out. If the coach tells him to stop and he doesn't, there's nothing cute about it.

If he's a dancer there are plenty of dance classes and cheer groups that would love to have a high energy kid.

Sure a 2nd grader should be “more mature”

FFS no wonder kids are suffering from anxiety and depression.

Just let them be kids!

So let them do whatever they want, whenever they want? No. Kids can learn appropriate behavior. There’s a time and a place. He needs to get energy out? Do it running around the bases, or play at a playground before the game. If he wants to joke around with friends, he can do it on the bench or after the game. On the field, you’re playing the game and you’re listening to your coaches. Kids need boundaries and they are perfectly capable or following them. Kids do not need to be and should not be entertained every second of the day. They can stand there and watch the game. Just like they can sit there and wait for food to come out in a restaurant without an iPad.

My son is the exact same way lol. One of the things I love about his personality

This sounds like extremely normal kid behavior. Coach will handle it. We used to do little dances when I played high school soccer. When we got over the line, coach talked to us.

I would talk to him about it after the game for sure. Disrespectful and he’s trying to get attention and laughs.

When kids get older, opposing pitchers handle disrespect. A little chin music and he'll be as boring as baseball culture demands

I hope you're not encouraging dangerous pitching here.

Find a new sport. He has too much energy for baseball and it's a lot of standing around. My daughter was doing cartwheels in the outfield during softball games. So now she's in gymnastics.

+1. If the coach has asked him not to do this, I would say something. I don't like to see my children disrespecting adults. I am guessing OP is the type of parent who thinks all her kid's behaviors are "cute," and encourages them by smiling and laughing, even if they aren't appropriate.
