Reply to "Frustration setting in"

Some great advice here from some people who know what they are talking about. 

My son (2023) was asked to guest play earlier this summer by one of if not the best team in the area. He played well both defensively and offensively. I would argue he’s a better fielder than 4 of their 6 MIF and just as good if not better than their C. The big difference though, my son is 135 and those kids are 150-200+ and a couple D1 commits.  While my son had more hits than most of them, his hits were singles or doubles down the line. Their outs were fly balls to the warning track. 

Most of the kids on that roster are being recruited by D1 schools. My son just doesn’t fit that profile yet. He used the experience to motivate himself to work harder than ever off the field to add the muscle needed to fit in. It will take a while, but if he doesn’t make it, it will not be due to a lack of effort
