if you're kid isn't doing travel ball, it makes it very unlikely he's going to show up on highschool campus and not be left in the dust by all the other kids who have. assuming your kid isn't some physical specimen type athlete. travel ball is just ball now. rec ball is non existent at a competitive level.

I can see this as a freshman but any player that is a decent athlete will eventually catch up when they are facing the same competition for a couple years.

I’ve been a high school baseball coach for 15 years and this simply isn’t true. The pay to play organizations that tell families they won’t be ready for high school if they don’t play with their club are lying thru their teeth to get your money. One family sees this and gets FOMO and the whole thing spreads like wild fire. Anything athletically that happens before puberty is meaningless anyway. I’ve had so many kids that played 100s of games from the ages of 7-14 get boat raced by kids who played a bunch of different sports in their youth and who dominate puberty. Lots of those 12 year old stars will be program kids who will get a handful of ABs on varsity as a senior. Tale as old as time
