Son made his debut today and it turned out pretty well. Team won both games of a double header. He started the first game and went two for three with an rbi, a run scored, and a stolen base. Played left field for the first time in his life I think. He was an infielder and catcher in high school. Watching the kid who's playing shortstop ahead of him, I am glad he's a senior, great range, great arm, and very smooth.
Outstanding news bcb3!
Those experienced kids are smooth and very tough to beat out. That is the part that all college parents can only learn from experience. It's no wonder that sometimes, it takes a year or two or three and sometimes four to finally break into the starting lineup. Playing in college is not just dependent on a given player's talent. Often times it depends on the other kids ahead of you. Luck is involved.
