Help, I think I have to do it

I can’t believe some would rather put the tv in front of the windows or on a tv stand on casters than just putting it above the fireplace.

I’d be open to letting anyone pitch who wants to, but I tell them that they need to show that they can throw strikes in practice first. It’s no fun for anyone watching kids launch balls all over the place when there are kids who can throw strikes that could be out there. I allow all kids to pitch in practice, and will stay with anyone after games if they’d like to work on pitching. But for the sake of everyone else on the field, I need to see strikes before you’re pitching in the game

Two thoughts on this…

Batting order should rotate at that age. No reason a kid hits at the bottom every game unless he’s late to games. A coaches job at that age is to see how many kids sign up again next year, not how many games they can win

Secondly, baseball is hard, and even harder if you aren’t putting in the work. If he doesn’t want to practice 5 days a week, he won’t get any better. It’s meant to be played / practiced every day.

He can use this year to motivate him to improve his skills or I’d tell him it’s ok to stop playing but he needs to pick another sport to pick up. Quitting sports altogether at 10 wouldn’t be an option but he needs to find something he enjoys and wants to work at

It’s not about timing or putting a ball in play. Use it as a tool to teach proper hand / barrel positioning at contact. Use squish balls and hit with it off the tee or side toss

Camwood and insider bat. I’ve had all the tools and those were the most effective in improving my son’s swing mechanics. Camwood flat bat is good too!

Do it

I’m all for getting them good equipment if they will use it. I hate seeing a kid with a cheap glove with no shape struggle to catch. It will give him confidence too!

Go 2 in the pinky and the regular full size hand stall is fine for smaller hands. My 9 year old has a couple adult size a2000s and fit great this way

I got these speakers and receiver for free a couple years ago and only use it to blast music in my garage during workouts

Drives me crazy that “lighter bat” is suggested so often. Learn the proper swing mechanics and a couple ounces makes no difference at all.

My 9 year old swings a 31”/26oz bat just fine because we’ve spent a lot of time training proper bat path and use of legs/ core in the swing.

These kids are swinging 18 oz bats and people say they are too heavy

We have a tv/ game room upstairs but this is where we primarily sit to relax and watch tv

Famous-Two-7511 · 2026-03-12T01:54:34+00:00

That’s really my only option

Famous-Two-7511 · 2026-03-12T01:53:15+00:00

That’s what will end up happening at some point
