Over the weekend had a pre-season tournament in St. George UT. Weather was sunny, low 60's, just beautiful.

Those that have been coming to pre-season workouts were divided into two teams. High school coach not allowed to participate due to state rules so others coached. Son was ok at plate, 3-9 including a triple. The surprise was he pitched which was totally unexpected. He has rarely been used as a pitcher. They have been having him throw in pre-season workouts just because of his build. 6'3 1/2", 165 lbs (no exagerating here

) He started the first game and went 3 innings, 1 hit, 1 run but a bit wild with 4 walks. He started game 4 and went 4 innings with 1 hit, 7 strikeouts, no walks and no runs against a team that ended up averaging 11 runs in the tournament.

High school coach was there to watch that game and said he would have to look at getting him into the rotation. For a kid who has caught about 75% of the time with a little at first base it was a pleasant surprise.
