I’m going to be visiting some family this weekend and I will have the opportunity to see my 10-year old nephew (he happens to be a horse!) play 2 games in his 2 different fall league games.
I was telling my wife this afternoon that I am unbelievably proud of Mikey for taking this initiative but I am also concerned. Mikey just started pitching this past summer with some much needed work and help. His confidence level was very low and he was serving up meatballs (so my brother-in-law tells me). What concerns me is the amount of pitching he can potentially do. With 2 fall leagues, he has the potential to pitch 2 games in a day. To me that’s dangerous. I need to make sure that they know to keep him limited and to only allow him to pitch 1 game a week during the fall. 10 years old…..
Gosh, I hope they listen.
I’ll make sure to bring back some follow up stories tomorrow.
