He's one of the youngest, hasn't played before, most of the kids/coaches know each other. He's got a lot to do and I'm afraid the stacked deck will make it hard for him to learn to love the game this spring. Yes- I'm throwing with him, hitting off the tee at home and in cage before practice to get his bat up to speed. His hand eye coordination has to come along.
