2017 is having a great season so far...batting .481 (33 PA) and 1.064 OPS. He also got a shot on the bump in a game where the starter struggled, ended up allowing no earned and K'd 5 in 3 2/3 innings. That earned him a shot at a start the following week and get went the distance allowing 3 with 3 K's and only 83 pitches. Hoping to get his 2nd start this week.
Update: 2017 has slowed a bit at the plate but only because he's hitting rockets AT guys. He was pressing a bit after hearing he might get a call up. Well he did get the call up and although he only played two innings w/ one AB he loved his first experience. He's still North of .420 and had another win on the bump last week and after the last JV game tomorrow will spend the rest of the season with the Varsity.
Nothing better than seeing your kid smiling from ear to ear!! Never gets old!!
