Mets action

Batman played his first coach pitch game on opening weekend.  He did very good!  I can't count the number of times that the coach told him to get baseball ready because he was dancing in the field and playing in the dirt but every time that ball was hit he jumped into action and he shocked me as he caught all the balls thrown to him.  I was very impressed.  And to top it off, he got a home run!  How exciting!

 Up to bat.  This is his first year of coach pitch.  We have always pitched him balls.  He has always been able to hit it.  But the transition from soft toss to real baseball pitching has been tough.  He pitches that ball fast and Batman has really had to work on his timing to be able to hit the ball.

Coach is giving him a pep talk.

 Boys are ready.

 Up to bat.

 Get ready. He is so cute and goes through all the mechanics he has been taught as he gets up to bat.

 He hits it.

 This is where I stopped watching.  In girls coach pitch, they don't even let you take a base on an overthrow.  Well in boys that is not the case.  They didn't have someone backing up and the boys kept throwing the ball so time could not be called and when I looked up Batman was rounding second.

 And rounding third on the way home!

 Who Hoo!  Very exciting for him!

 Up to bat again.

 Here he is at second base.

 Great game boys.

My little man!
