Daily KPB| Considering Playing Multiple Sports or Specializing in Baseball During High School? - a podcast by Keep Playing Baseball

*Daily KPB Pilot Episode*

This is the audio version for our website article, Multiple Sports or Single-Sport Specialization? You Decide! Here's what it's all about:

In this podcast and the corresponding article, we try to present a responsible view of the specialization versus multi-sport participation decision as it may actually unfold for a high school baseball player. Doing so requires looking at both options adequately, and that is what we will try to do. 

We look at the opinions of some of the top D1 coaches in college baseball as well as weigh some of the bias that exists when this debate isn't contextualized. The truth is, there is no sweeping answer for all high school players and individual factors and circumstances should be carefully weighed.  

When it comes to deciding between playing multiple sports or single sport specialization in high school, our advice is to make a personal decision based on the following:  

1. Make sure you understand what college baseball coaches are looking for in a recruit and the skills you will need to be able to demonstrate


2.  Take an objective look at how your skills measure up against these college standards and what it will take to meet or exceed what coaches are looking for 


3. Think about your goals and aspirations as a ballplayer


4. Take the time to learn about how your different options will impact your goals and aspirations 


5. Make the decision that will give you the best chance to achieve your goals
