The quality of fall baseball leagues vary around the country. Some have a more structured approach to the fall season, while others have a more casual approach featuring only a double header on Sunday. Whatever the case, you want to make sure that your player has his priorities in order on exactly why he wants to play fall baseball in the first place.
In my experience, there are two reasons to play fall baseball. One, you love the game and want to have some fun on Sunday. Or two, you want to work on making a significant adjustment in your swing and you want to test the waters before your winter training sessions. If you player is only playing because he feels he should, I would advise him to take the time off until he is ready to get back to working on his game.
Before the fall season begins, players should outline the type of adjustments they want to "try out" during the fall. Then, they should design baseball training workouts that will help them make said changes. If at the end of 6 to 8 weeks you player doesn't see the improvement they had hoped for, then they know that training those adjustments forwards will most likely due more harm than good.
If you are planning on "trying out" a new batting stance or make a significant change in your mechanics, I suggest outlining the changes you would like to make before you start the fall season. Then design a baseball workout schedule that allows you to train 2-3 times a week between your games on the weekend. This will give you a legitimate opportunity to asses the changes properly and receive feedback on if you should carry those changes into your intensive winter workouts.
Most fall baseball leagues last 6-8 weeks. Choose a few mechanical adjustments you want to make, and try to make a gain over the entire fall season. If after 6-8 weeks of practice and games your adjustments are not helping you at the plate, then you know not to carry those adjustments into your more intensive winter baseball workouts.
At the end of the day, fall baseball is a great activity to be involved in. It allows you to experience the game you love without any pressure or expectations. Whether you want to get out and have a little fun, or want to try out a few mechanical adjustments, fall baseball gives you the outlet to do so!
