Baseball Tryouts Can Mean Only One Thing..
January 12, 2011
….. baseball season is soon to open. This will be Peter’s last year in majors. He is so looking forward to it. As are his parents.
As usual, “skills assessment” included three chances to hit from the pitching machine, a run around the bases, 3 fly balls (2 thrown to second and one to home), and 3 grounders (with throws to first). Then, they take first base for the next player.. and it’s over.
Here’s a shot of Peter’s at bat.
And here’re the coaches who are making notes on each player, and who will choose players based on those evaluations in the upcoming draft. In a couple of weeks, Peter will get a call from his new coach. And with that, practices will begin. The season will run through July, or thereabouts.
(Also: yippee!)
