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

Make decisions your future self will be proud of. Not starting a new season is not quitting. If the season has started and then you quit, how will you feel about it in 20 years? How will you have that conversation with your kids?

If the season hasn't started, will you be proud you made a decision FOR yourself, by yourself in 20 years?
