Two weekends left in the conference season and still battling for a Regional bid. Son was doing well in his freshman role, contributing to the team, but hit a bad patch with Coach. I'm told he was hitting too many home runs in BP which goes against his team role as outlined to him by the Coach. 
So coach took him off the travel roster and let that marinate for a few weeks. Son adjusted his swing, went back to hitting sharp liners and hard groundballs again, and coach has him travelling for the weekend. Lesson learned.
Best advice he got during his benching: "You being able to barrel shots is not important. Everyone knows you can. But that's not your job on this team. Get on and create problems OR get 'em over. That's it for you. Do that enough and you'll get your chance to hit shots."
