Well my son is still in 8th grade, but i'm going to post anyway. He was just asked to join a very talented Select team and I was worried that he might not be quite at their level. Tonight they started him as pitcher-First Inning: He threw a perfect inning( 11 pitches for 3 Ks, only 2 fouls balls). Second Inning he struck out the first batter, walked two, then struck out the next two. No batter ever put a ball in play from his pitches. All this from the kid that couldn't even get his pitch to home plate on his first Pitching try-out( Minors Little League).
Keep posting folks-I love to read about these great success stories-however its defined.
