This was Nathan's second
season playing Kid Pitch baseball. This year he pitched several times and he
did a good job. Chris helped coach and gave him lots of pointers on pitching.
You could see Nathan get frustrated sometimes after he had thrown a lot of
pitches and started to walk people.
In one of his earlier
games he was given the game ball for catching fly balls. I have to say that is
one thing I saw a great improvement in this year. He got in front of balls and
caught them. He played short stop and that is an active position because he had
to back up the pitcher in case there were any balls overthrown to him. He also
ended up stopping lots of balls or making a dramatic dive. He worked on taking
his time when throwing to first base for the out. When he played third base he
did a great job covering for steals. He was so much more engaged in the game
and was really paying attention throughout the entire game.
His hitting improved
greatly also. He seemed more confident and would swing. He had a hit at almost
every at bat. He
made this funny face when the ball was pitched to him. He would blow up his
cheeks with air. I was cracking up when I took pictures of him.
At the end of the season we only won three games, but the big difference over last year was the morale of the team. Their spirits stayed high throughout the entire season.
