My son, also a freshman, made the varsity team. He plays at second base- a place he has never played before and usually either doesn't bat or is pretty much last in the line-up when he does bat. You know what? He loves playing varsity even if it means playing a spot he's not really comfortable at and only gets a few at-bats. It's his hard work ethic that got him to the team and he pushes himslf daily to compete with the older kids. He knows next year or the year after his time will come and the experience he is gaining now willpay off in the end.
