That is a terrific swing. I can't wait to show it to my lefty hitting son tonight. We are in San Diego so we will try to get up and see him play this spring. Thanks for posting about his baseball journey.
Great to hear he’s off to a good start in camp.
Good luck!! Sweetness with that swing...
He will start in Low A in Lake Elsinore but is hoping to make it to Ft. Wayne this season at some point...
Paula;
a very interesting ballpark and history.

Right center is "deep" 386'. It will be exciting.

Paula,
Best place for him to start as out of HS even though he has been in complex ball since last season. Too fast isn't in the best interest of the player. I read once the players out of HS has to have about 3k at bats, not sure if that still stands since players are more advanced.
Just enjoy every moment!

Lake Elsinore it is! We are going out there next week for the first home and away series.
Also, the boy finally texted unsolicited information. It wasn’t about a hit or a new friend or a play in the field or something he learned…it was to share that he’s in “MLB The Show.” I guess when you are 19 that’s a big deal. 😂

@PTWood as the father of a 19 year old, I can tell you that is a big deal!
Baseball is a very tough sport. Gotta celebrate every good thing that happens, big & small!
I remember how excited a friend was …
”I’m on a Strat (Strat-O-Matic baseball) card!” It was the precursor to video games.
I really liked hearing that he was talking about the kid he's mentoring. Shows good character, which will take him far in life! We often hear about selfish behavior, its gratifying to hear about the mentors and good role-models.
Keep us "in the loop" with your son's journey through this crazy sport!
Holy crud! The kid had a day!
It was a magical beginning to the season. :-) Thanks guys. And we were all there (big sisters too)!
That's a good looking swing.

So glad you all could be there.
Wow! Sums it up. What’s the matter? He couldn’t hit three homers? 😀
Lol @RJM. Last at bat was a walk.
Go James!
