Blake started Kid Pitch Minor League baseball this Fall. It has been a big transition - especially when most of their practices have been rained out. Blake jumped right into kid pitch games and has kept it moving. These are the SLOWEST games ever btw. Since this is the first age for many kids pitching, there are a lot of balls! Most of the game revolves around kits getting walked and then they steal the bases. There are very few hits and strikes. It is also hard for kids when it comes to hitting. Blake has really struggled trying to know the difference between the balls and strikes - judging the pitches and getting used to the kids speed variations. It has been A LOT, but he has also grown a lot. Blake has also made himself at home playing second base this season. He has done a great job and fielding. He has also shown a big passion in pitching. He has put LOTS of practice into pitching and is waiting for his debut on the mound during a game. :)
