So far, Carter has played catcher for 100% of all his team's games this season. So he's getting a ton of playing time and a lot of action compared to most of the kids on the team. Catcher is a hugely important position, especially in the 9-10 year old age group, since there are still very few hits and a lot of crazy pitching. Carter is loving it and doing a great job.
Since moving to kid pitch, Carter has struggled to hit much (like most kids). But on Monday, he went 3 for 3!!! Two of those hits were huge line drives to outfield. The third was a little dud that he outran to first and was safe.
Carter also got 2 outs at home on wild pitches when runners tried to steal home and he tossed the ball back to the pitcher who was covering home.
Carter's been so close to throwing out kids stealing other bases. He's had great throws but our infielders need to catch the ball (and remember to tag the runner!).
Here was Coach Jeff's speech when giving Carter the game ball on Monday ...
