The AA teams are riding pitchers out to 150+ pitches in a weekend. I've seen a kid pitch complete games both saturday and sunday and also do relief. Not low scoring games either. He gave up 30 runs at least. lol rip that kid's future.

didn’t happen

My kid played a lot from 7-12. Once he started growing he took much more time off. People act as if he quit playing. But his arm is stronger his hitting metrics increased. His overall athleticism skyrocketed by working out hard and playing football

This year round stuff is crazy. If he develops and enjoys it and has a chance at all to play further he can play summers again. Or we can go fishing. Up to him

But I saw a lot of decent ball players play all summer. Going to showcases with 72 mph arms, 8 second sixties and average EV. I don’t get it.

But to each his own.
