Who else is heading out for spring training?... I'm sure there are many on this site

its, njbb, TPM and others,

Best wishes to your sons this season. It will be very exciting to follow all of them.

Whatever level of success they reach this year, they are living a dream that many of the players and parents on this site literally can only dream of. I hope to see them play in person some day!

Sometime in February.
I'll be there!

Thanks all!

20Dad how is your son?

he's doing great, reports to ft meyers 3/6. don't know where he'll be this year but where ever it is it's better than last year.

How do the teams notify your sons when they need to report ? I have always wondered that....

W77, The Padres sent a packet of information and forms in the mail; air tickets will come via e-mail.

20Dad that is great stuff, keep us posted. Is it with the Phillies? If so, sons close friend is catcher.

Ft Myers must be Red Sox or Twins

Thanks, wasn't sure.

Son reports March 1st.

Their plans for him are to start throwing bullpens after he gets there and not actually in a game until mid-May. Looks like extended spring training.

The good news is he's following their timeline is up to throwing 150 feet with NO pain!

Now if he can get his velocity back...

He does his rehab religiously so if he doesn't make it, he will have no regrets and will have given it his best shot.

Our son and his wife leave for AZ on the 14th. It's a big year for them. Thanks, so much, for keeping them in your prayers.

You post brought me back to when we first met at ASU


Tell Dan to say hello to Brian Wilson when he gets to camp---Brain played for us during his HS years


Looking forward to seeing both of them have great seasons

FrankF,
Thank you for that update.
Knowing what he is trying to do makes me a huge admirer. Josh has a big fan club in this poster.
Any news you would be willing to share on his progress would be welcomed.

Infield dad,
How is your son's rehab going?

Best of luck and a healthy spring training to all of those headed there

I'd be curious to see a list of pro players with parents involved with this site even if the posters don't want their chat names connected to their sons for privacy reasons.

Good luck to everyone in ST this year! I'm sure it'll be an exciting time for all!
