At age 14 I did not think my youngest son would even play baseball past high school. I knew he was athletic but he was good at several sports and did not seem to have a foarite My oldest son had decided around age 12 that he wanted to work on basketball in middle school and our baseball father/son sessions came to an abrupt halt in favor of one on one basketball in the yard. It was not until my youngest son finished his freshman year in high school [age 16+] that he told me he wanted to play baseball in college. We talked about the committment on his part that would be necessary to get him there but sometimes, especially in the off season, I could not get him to work on baseball. So I wasn't sure anyone would want him or that he would stick with it. But someone that he and I both respect did and and he is working at it so I would have to say, he exceeded my expectations as far as baseball is concerned.
