Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.
However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & theres a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). This coach said i could be a manager & do all the summer leagues, but i didnt since i was away for summer.
Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or keep some dignity from these sports/politics(& not leave hs as the 1 who was cut again)?

btw, im thinking of trying out because along with the fact that i like baseball, & feel guilty i didnt pursue it, i want to leave hs with a better rep & soccer & baseball are a part of me, & i could get more respect as i leave, but im not sure about getting cut since theres politics??

I am 27 years old and there are many things that I wished I have done in the past which now I regret not doing because I don't have the chance to do now. I think you should at least tryout for the team that way when you do get older you don't have to regret not doing stuff you wanted to do, and if you do get cut from the team, well at least you tried

I think you should go out for it. If you really enjoy doing it, then take the oppurtunity. It's ok if you get cut, because if you never tried, you'll regret it.
If your whole hearts not in the game, don't bother. It's only fun when you REALLY enjoy it.

dont be a sissy, go try out and give it your all...forget about politics if you are going to make the team you will but if you dont, you dont.
The one thing u might want to consider is, if you make the team u proally will ride the bench most of the year.
