2022's tryouts start Monday, with the JV team only. Son is probably looked at as a PO but would like to be considered a two-way player. He's working on all parts of his game Any potential varsity players are invited to the Varsity tryouts a week later. Vars only lost two starting field players but lost 5 out of ten pitchers. I'm ambivalent about where he ends up. Not sure how durable his arm is and I can't think of any pitchers who have gone through the program doing so without arm issues. He'll throw more on JV but maybe more than he should. He won't throw a lot on Vars but that might be better for his arm in the long run.
Any suggestions for helping him learn how to close out hitters? He gives up too many two-strike hits. Does a good job getting ahead in the count but something's not clicking with his two strike pitches.
