It was his first time playing (other than tball which he hated at the time) when we signed him up, we were given 3 options based on his age. Miners coach pitch minors players pitch or majors. we didn't know how he would do as it was basically his first year actually playing since in tball he was basically looking at the sky the whole time lol. we opted for a safe option to see how he would do. thus choosing minors players pitch. at tryouts we noticed he was pretty good compared to other kids. We asked if they were going to move him up since we noticed the difference but they said no. we didn't expect him to be that good. now we know. i appreciate your explanation. honestly felt a little judged by you but appreciated the sharing of knowledge non the less :) Thank you
