Baseball

in: family

I was so impressed with Maverick tonight at baseball. He was 4/4, got a pitched hit each time at bat. Yesterday we took him to a batting cage to get some bp and it paid off. He was hitting 40 mph balls in the cage which made tonight’s balls seem like nothing. He’s fielding and throwing like he’s ready for the next level which he’ll be next year. We’re considering putting him in a serious league like Rolling Park or Parkville.  I want to be careful not to push him too hard but I will certainly provide him options and resources. I bought a bucket of baseballs so I can take him to the diamond in the evenings at let him hit. At the batting cage they have hitting instructors for hire. I wish I had taken the video camera with me tonight but I forgot.

Shane on the other hand is a goofball. He’s doing what a typical four year old should be I assume. When he gets to base he sits and plays in the dirt or messes around with one of the fielders from the other team.

Stumble it!
