so ive decided that ill take the season off for baseball. i ended the year with a bit of a hitting slump and i had a gut feeling that i just wanted to have the freedom of not being on a team this summer. i will start a more or less gpp now for indoor track but have to schedule it around a baseball camp in late july for 4 days, track camp for like a week (which id like to go into relatively fresh) and california for two weeks in august. im starting a new thread for recording progress which can be found here ->http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?p=235991#post235991
