Reply to "Frustration in Finding the Strike Zone"

In the major growing years coordination and mechanics can be greatly affected. He’ll grow out of it. 

My son grew from 5’4” to 5’11” from 8th to 9th grade. My daughter grew from 5’2” to 5’10” in the same time period. Sending them to track camp in the summer ironed out their coordination issues. It was mild for my son. But track camp helped his speed. It stopped my daughter from being a spaz.

As someone else mentioned don’t get pigeon holed into first base. Ultimately, it’s where the kid who can’t play another position gets placed. If your son develops into a college prospect being a first baseman creates a narrow recruiting avenue.

Every kid should learn how to play outfield. When he gets to high school if he can hit varsity pitching the first available positions for young players are often left and right.
