Mental Block???

Uhhhhhhhhh sounds to me like he was "sick and throwing up" Why in the world did he play the 2nd game?

Maybe he was trying to send a signal to the coach "take me out of the game"

I'm sure he wasn't focused on the game.
Sounds like he needs a rest!

A mental block?? Somebody needs to have their eyes checked!
The kid was sick! And possibly exposing everyone else on the team, if it wasn't heat related. Why didn't the PARENT take the kid home & put him to bed?

I don’t think the “problem” your son is having is necessarily related to playing two positions except this added responsibility could put him under a lot of stress and stress can impact us in many ways. Let me add that we should not try to diagnose and solve the problem here on an internet website. If your son continues to have any problems, I recommend he see a doctor.
Since my son is a pitcher/catcher I will say that there are some inherent problems that come by playing those two positions at the same time. The most obvious is the stress and fatigue that is placed on the body and more specifically the arm. There is very little documented data to guide the pitcher/catcher to avoid injury or to maximize his pitching ability. Each player is different and I worked up a recovery routine designed specifically for my son. I had to design these guidelines by evaluating his recovery and establish limits on his pitch counts and innings spent catching. I also had to work his catching into his pitching recovery period. Since I’m just a dad I had to work this out with his baseball coach. My son also used the DH and playing 1st base to help facilitate his recovery. The Pitch/Catch combo is a real challenge but can be done. My son is a sophomore in college and continues to pitch, catch, DH, and play 1st base.
Take care of your son and best of luck to you,

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I do not see "mental block" here--I see a kid who should have been home in bed and not in a baseball uniform
