The baseball season for our family is in full swing. Not because we’re really that concerned about what’s happening in MLB, but because our son’s baseball season has started. He’s done well thus far and his team has won their first two games of the season.
Last night they had a tough game against his coach from last year and a number of his team mates from his team last year. They pulled out the win!
Ethan enjoys pitching and playing catcher. In the first game of the season he came in as a relief pitcher and through 54 pitches and chalked-up six strikeouts in the process. He enjoys playing catcher and since that’s the position I normally play in softball, I enjoy giving him tips and instruction on how to improve his catching skills.
Yesterday a player, Brian Kownacki, for Fordham College, made an amazing leap over a catcher to score a run for his team. We’ll have to work on how to defend the plate when that sort of thing happens, but I don’t think we’ll be seeing this type of move anytime soon in Little League baseball.
