Not talking down, just haven’t heard one legit argument against it. Just a bunch of dudes in their feelings
Just to add another perspective, it can hurt in baseball. They want you as soon as they can get you if you’re elite. Take current LSU starter Josh Pearson. He was a holdback in elementary school. Then he skipped his junior year at WM to get into the draft/to LSU pronto. Bryce Harper got a GED so he could play JUCO and get drafted sooner.
99 times out of a hundred though, yes it’s a benefit to the holdback.

I was 17 when I started at LSU. Apparently that means I'm a genius.

i have stated for atleast 2 years travel ball...should be no grade hold backs until ith grade or 14u
I agree with this. The organizations allow those that have held back to play down but not the ones that don’t hold back. The age gaps can get too large as the kids are maturing.

Maybe, because he’d have to be exclusively 1st base or DH. Most, likely, as great as he is, there is just someone else better
Maybe he can’t hit offspeed.
