If you need money, work Basketball, Soccer, or Volleyball (best ratio). My son, in college, is going to make about $500 per week just doing HS Basketball this winter.
In many areas there is no vollyball or basketball played during baseball season. And, soccer? Please.

I've made up to $8,000 doing baseball in a four season locale. It isn't my living, but it's a nice addition.

It would not be possible to make $500 a week doing just HS basketball here. But if one also worked youth leagues on the weekend, it would be do-able.
