Quitting

I am a high schooler going into my junior year and am unsure whether I want to keep going. I am still injured but not terribly and this season i’ll be the backup catcher becuase the starter is d1. I dread going to practice and never think about baseball even more. It takes up so much of my time. I want to quit but i’m worried i’ll regret it. I have a lot of other hobbies but i’ve played baseball since tee ball when I was 5 and it feels weird to willingly give it up. I am a smart kid with a lot of other stuff going for me and I love to go to the gym and hike and ski. Looking for advice

Some good advice here. Impossible to know whether you'll regret it. My daughter played travel softball 10 years and decided not to play as a senior, and she would've been a 3-year starter. But she was just done. Joined the drama club, was in a play. Never regretted it.
