Should I start boxing before or after baseball season?

I am a freshman and will be trying out for the freshman baseball team. But, if it would help me as a boxer, I wouldn't play baseball. Baseball season for Freshman is only 2 months long. So should I spend 2 months playing baseball or going to the local boxing gym? Would it hurt to play baseball for 2 months?|||Baseball might actually help you with boxing. Baseball requires good hand-to-eye coordination and with boxing, you need to see punches coming and react to them whether blocking, slipping, and countering.





And baseball also forces you to use your legs and rotate your hips to generate power. Rocky Marciano, one of boxing's greatest punchers, was an aspiring baseball player. He would spend 2 hours a day hitting baseballs and he learned to drive his legs and rotate his hips and put his full weight into every punch.|||you should probably try not to juggle the 2 but really its up to you
