We had been hoping Owen would choose to do soccer in the Spring. And he had. Until he remembered his best friend Tayden started saying he wanted to play baseball. So another season of baseball it is for the boy child.
This year we arrived earlier and waited less than 20 minutes before Owen got to show off his skills.
He knew a couple of other boys ahead of him in line. One was Preston and another was on his team last Fall.
Owen warmed up while the boy ahead of him finished his try out.
He got to swing at several pitches and knocked an impressive one into the outfield.
Then he ran as fast as he could to second base to show off his running skills. Owen is still one of the fastest kids his age and outruns the others (and older kids!) in little races.
Once on second base, he got to catch some pop-ups and grounders, as well as show off his arm when throwing the balls to the first base kid.
Owen was asked if he wanted to pitch.
Of course, the answer was yes!
Owen only got to pitch for part of one game last season. He is hopeful he will have more pitching opportunities in Spring ball.
He was pleased with his whole tryout.
As he should be. Owen did awesome showing off his baseball skills for the coaches judging from the outfield!
