Timmy's Baseball Season

The baseball season has officially wrapped up, just in time for the crazy heat!  Timmy had a blast and was able this year to play on a team with kids that are all from our church/school.  Ben helped another dad coach which was great to have the shared responsibility.

This year was a mixture of coach pitch and machine pitch.  Timmy did really well hitting, he seems to have really good hand eye coordination, which we saw last year too.  But this year we saw his power get stronger and it was fun to watch that.  He hit his first home run this year and regularly hit doubles.  Kids all excel in different areas, it was really nice to have him find something he does well and watch that confidence grow.  His favorite positions to play were first base and catcher.  The last two games of the season were crazy hot and the coaches tried to not have a catcher...but Timmy and one of his buddies protested that idea :)

Unless they change the age he will get one more year at this level.  Lucy is excited that she will get to start tball next year too!
