NTGson (LHP) just informed his Mom and me that he signed this past week his contract to play the Summer of '17 in the West Coast League for the Yakima Valley Pippins. He had told his coaches at VMI that he would like to play summer ball in areas of the country he hasn't seen. Yakima, Washington definitely fits that criterion. The boy was a foreign exchange student in Germany for almost 5 weeks as a 16 year old so he can handle the separation from us. We don't know if we can....
I guess our questions relate to his need for a car, the kind of money we should set aside for him, and any other aspects of his playing in this league and for the Pippins we should address.
I am assuming all correspondence from the League and the team go directly to the player. We want to be able to provide him any assistance we can, especially contact info of people whom we know in that part of the country.
