Carter - Baseball

Carter had his first two baseball games this weekend (the Sunday game was a make-up for his Thursday game that got rained out).  Carter is with the same kids and coaches as last season with the Brentwood Baseball Club.  This year they are the Angels.

Unfortunately I missed Carter's first game because it was at the same time as Rylan's and at a different ball park.  Brian said he did great though!  Good hits and 4 or 5 outs at first base.  Coach Jeff is generally playing Carter at first for the 1st and 3rd innings (if a 3rd is played) because he feels Carter is one of his few players that can catch.  Carter loves getting to play there too.

Sunday's game was much more uneventful.  Carter got to play first base again in the 1st and 3rd innings.  Unfortunately no one was throwing the ball to him quickly or anywhere near him.  He may have gotten just one out.

The rules are generally the same for Carter this year.  Each inning both teams bat through their entire lineup no matter how many outs there are.  A coach pitches each batter 5 balls and then the tee is used if the player hasn't gotten a hit.

Carter is doing great so far and loving it, of course.  Our coach is so great that he even did a practice with just Carter for 45 minutes one day when no one else showed up because it was sprinkling.  All the hard work has really been paying off and Carter is definitely improving.
