UPDATE - we have him starting 7th grade in the Fall... kept him up a year. I liked the advice about worrying about school first (he's a Duke TIP scholar) and ball will fall in place. So far he's been blessed with opportunities.. was youngest 11u on field in 12u Team USA Futures Invitational (caught 82 mph!, hit .400/.571 and won silver medal), went to PG national championship and hit a little better, and is one of the few (only?) 11u players invited to play in the 12u MLB/NABC next week. One comment here that resonated with me is that by having him face the bigger/stronger/faster players, he's having to work a LOT harder to gain his accomplishments as a complimentary player. So, great advice. Tkx
