I'll add my two cents...
When I pitched, I liked having a few weeks where I wasn't throwing very intense. I liked being able to throw slower and work on mechanics and learn something new to ut into my toolbox.
Now that I'm a catcher, I take and completely shut down for a few weeks over the summer and let myself rest so I can heal because catching can work on your knees and back. I use that time to read, mess around with a gaming project on my Switch, or even just learning how to cook something new. I'll start lightly working out in mid to late July so I can go back to college ready to hit the ground running once I get back.
