Yesterday was opening day for our son's team. The weather was beautiful, and we got to watch our son play the game that he loves. It doesn't get any better than that! We are really looking forward to the season!

Son's JC baseball season has already started, and he has made 2 starts. The first start was game 1 of the season, and he was a little off. He threw 3 2/3 innings and allowed 4 runs, 2 earned. He got a ND, and the team eventually came back to win. His second start was much better. 5 innings, 4 hits, 1 walk, and 5 K's. He was throwing from 88 - 90 in the first 2 innings, but dropped to 85 - 88 thereafter. He says he still isn't quite there yet, but he feels he is getting stronger every day.

Little update on son.....been very enlightening. He's made travel team roster so far for all the games, although several games he only stepped foot on the field to help the outfielders warm up. (He's the only freshman and has a lot to learn and he knows it.) He did get 1 shot batting in the line up and flied out to center. Has pinch run and that's about it. Although it's hard to sit and watch and I'm sure is even harder for our son, he knows he has to do his time and that he's competing with...

#BBALLMOMFAN - I completely agree. Son is 9 hours away.. and redshirt freshman. We still went to opening weekend. Now it does mean I will probably adjust the number of weekends we visit because he isn't playing but it's about showing your child that the things that matter to him or even her for that matter, are also important to you. And being that far away, they may not always say it but they are just as happy to see you as you are to see them!

1st double header of D1 baseball done. 2 2/3 innings pitched in relief. 3 swinging K's, and 1 ER. Butterflies were all around he said until the 1st swing then it was "business as usual". Looking forward to following the next 3 years.

The college season is here! It's dark and cold out. Had a death in the family. But man did I smile checking the scores on D1Baseball.com. I love that it is back. When I set to write a book about college baseball I tried to capture that warmth of opening day... there is just nothing like the freshness of a new season! Best of luck for 2016

OK I'm busting at the seams.... Last weekend they played to far for me to travel but good friend of mine made the game. As I mentioned in the update he was able to bat but flied out. This weekend however DH made the Friday game and I drove the 4.5 hours for the Saturday game that morning. Was going to leave before 4th game was over due to the 4.5 hour drive in front of me back home, but decided to stick it out I was there and I'd make the best of it and take him out to dinner so I buckled in...

Son first outing yesterday. In fourth threw a pitch 5 feet in front of plate. I knew something was wrong immediately. Coach came right out. Pulled him. MRI next couple of days. It is his elbow. They fear UCL and tommy John surgery. He was / is more worried about how I am doing. Ugh! Ill let you all know

This mini-story brought back memories of my experience (and my father's) a few years back. The long drives, the unknowing of what the weekend would entail for me, the lows of a bad game (or not playing at all... even after my dad drove 8 hours up to Maine !), and of course the times of highlights when everything went right (like your son's homerun). Congrats on the good game. What conference is he in? _________________________________________ Amazon: Going with the Pitch SE Author of "Going...

Oh noooooo. However, he will get a medical waiver and be good to go next spring, which is his draft year. Go to the Cincinnati Reds doc. PM coming your way in a bit.

So just returned from my son's 1st college game. We weren't going as it was 6 hours away, and he's a freshman so we didn't think he'd get in. He called Friday night and said the coach told him he was giving him a chance at some point this weekend, so we packed up and drove down. He got 1 inning. 3 k's 12 pitches. Coach told him he will be getting many more chances. I am so happy for him, and so happy we didn't miss it.

Just returned from son's first college game, with the JV squad. Interesting experience and an eye opener about how his program works. My son played quite well. In nine plate appearances, he got 3 hits, including 2 singles and a triple and walked three times and drove in 2 runs. Put up some really good AB's. Hope he keeps it up and maybe works his way off the JV squad. But you never know -- his team is so stacked with outfielders, that's a tall order. Plus the 4 frosh outfielders can all...

9th inning, 2 outs with a 12-0 lead, my freshman son gets to come in for his college debut for the last out. 4 pitch K and the moment is over. Many years waiting to see him on that mound! Although brief, a great experience that I was fortunate enough to see! Exciting to see him work towards earning some more innings as the season progresses.

Son got in Saturday night for last out of the game. Was a bit nervous, gave up a hit on tough chopper fielded up 3b line and low throw to 1st but settled in a struck out next guy looking. 93-95 and hammer was working in first college appearance. Pretty exciting stuff. Thoughts and prayers out to Chef on the MRI.

Sorry to hear about that Chef... Never easy to have an injury come up. Hoping for a positive prognosis and comeback! As for my son, he got his first opportunity to pitch on Saturday. It has been rough for us (my son and myself) so far this season. He's a senior and the team had played 9 games before he got his first time on the mound. He was feeling very discouraged. And it's not like the other pitchers were doing great... So, he finally got his opportunity. Did very well, other than giving...

Traveled to Florida to finally see some games. It is one thing to hear about the high level of baseball in top collge leagues down south, quite another to see it. The pitching was the best we've seen not on TV. Fielder's make sick plays laying out, etc. (Graig Nettles when I was a kid comparison for me, or Machado of current players). As a fan, I had to clap for all teams' good plays I saw (there were many). Of course great fastballs; and sliders & curves that demonstrate where the term...
