Can baseball and engineering go together?

<p>My son has been accepted at UM. He is a very good baseball player at least for high school, but not at an athletic scholarship level (at least not D1 anyway ;).</p>

<p>He is considering being a "walk on" for the baseball team, but I have read that it is very difficult (perhaps impossible) to handle an engineering workload and play a sport. </p>

<p>I know that baseball team is usually very good, so it is quite likely that he would not make the team anyway, but I wondered if anyone had thoughts of the possibility of balancing engineering and baseball? Possible or should he plan on putting all of his time and effort into engineering and enjoy intramurals?</p>
