Reply to "Spring Baseball - 2016 - High School"

My 2018 got a lesson in humility this weekend, in case he was starting to feel invincible. We went up against the team he played summer ball with. They got a run off him in the first and then four more in the third. Five hits. He had only given up 2 hits in his total 20 innings of high school pitching coming into that game. He was disappointed, but handled it well. His off speed wasn't working, so this team (probably the best hitting team in the state) just sat on his fastball and he learned he can't blow it by good hitting teams when they wait on it.

The opposing team's home town newspaper ran a story in the Sunday paper in which the coach was quoted as saying that they knew his strengths and weaknesses and were expecting to hit him. The paper also said that they "rocked Chandler the entire game getting 12 hits." They had five. That article was printed up and tacked to his bedroom wall.
