I couldn’t be more happy. This is third year of baseball. He had never had a chance to pitch before last night. He is 9 years old, going into 4th grade. His arm strength is not the best in the world, but he can throw.
I talk to him before he went out and just told him to do the best he could and not to get upset if things went bad. He throws a couple practice pitches them here we go. He gets them over the plate with ease!! I was shocked. Gives up 2 hits. Catches a popup on the mound, strikes out the second batter and then catches a line drive on the mound. All three outs himself.
The next inning was a little more difficult. A couple walk and bad defense leads to 6 runs. He did make a great play on the mound. He knocks down another line drive and throws to 1st for the out.
That is something I will never forget. I can’t wait for next week to see him pitch again.
