The newest drag racer gears up!

[Schonyenko2]

I have a grandson who is growing like that. Sure helps dragging out deer. At 14 some play Pony ball here. Some of the traveling teams play 14&under though. Most try to make the cut to play freshman ball in school at 14-15.

Pitching gets more complicated from that age on. Especially when you need to start holding runners on base. 1st base isn't bad if you can stretch, and dig em outta the dirt.

I enjoyed the years I coached. Especially at the Pony, and Colt level. We helped develop players for the varsity program. Keep him/them focused. At 14 the hormones start kicking in. Life gets pretty interesting when that happens. (cars, girls, beer.)

Best wishes for a good season, and remember, homeruns are ok, but good consistent contact, and placement hitting, win ball games.
