Baseball Practice

Carter has had a total of 4 baseball practices (however, we did miss an additional 3 while we were in Disney).  We were supposed to have more practices but a handful were canceled because of the crazy weather and the coach being out of town.  Tonight was Carter's first game but I wasn't able to go because I had to coach Rylan's soccer practice.  The team was supposed to play on Saturday but that got rained out and the make-up game is tomorrow.  So I'll post about games next time.

So far, practice had been going well.  This is our coach's first time ever coaching.  He's doing good for never having done it before.  It would be better if he broke the team up into stations more often so there is less standing around, but it's not like the games are going to be that active either.

Carter is getting used to hitting pitched balls that are thrown overhand from pretty far away.

I used to always pitch underhand and from pretty close and those he can hit easy.

We've been doing some practice in the backyard and will continue to work on it.  During games the kids get 5 pitches from the coach and then get 2 tries off the tee.

Here are a couple of Carter's hits from practice the Saturday before last ...

The last couple of practices Carter has ended up playing first base.  He's been doing so well that he's won the starting position there.  Go Carter!!!

Brian said Carter did great in his first game tonight and I can't wait to see him play tomorrow!
