On Monday, he was indoors working the batting cages

Friday was outdoors working on fielding and pitching…yes, I said pitching   They picked three kids to pitch and Z is one of them…the boy has had a strong throw since, well forever.  On Friday, he threw a dime to the coach from the outfield.  Coach Jeff, said wow, he just made it from out there…to which Coach Dale, said which one, Zach?

I have to admit, I was nervous for him to pitch their first scrimmage this weekend.  Why, you might ask…because as of Saturday morning, he threw like the Wild Thing

But we worked on getting a wind up pitch rather than shot putting it, something haven’t done since last fall.    And on game day, the boy pitched first with one strike out, a ground ball out and a walk resulting in the coach pitching…not a bad start….but definitely room for improvement

Now, we just have to get that bat going.  He had a nice zinger to the SS who ended up dropping it, and that got their cycle going and a 5 run inning which gave them the win.
