My 2018 had been looking toward his first PG event, a chance to go up against some great competition from across the country. He performed as well as he could, given the unusual circumstances.
He hit a couple bombs at HS fields in the middle of nowhere, met a fellow commit and future battery mate......... drummroll...... got to pitch at LP, velo was down a bit, complained about the mound and his footing as the turf kept moving around. He eventually done a front flip as the turf came unraveled, game was stopped until a repair was made. He sustained a bruised knee and a pulled muscle in the tumble.
Pitching at LP only solidified his decision in committing to a program that has dirt/grass......he hates playing on turf!
My intention is not to pile on, but one's perspective and where they come from can be the difference in what is perceived normal or extreme circumstances. The WWBA is a memory now....................good, bad, indifferent, he's already looking toward his next opportunity to play the game.
