Who would have guessed it, but Daniel loves baseball. He 1st went to the batting cages with his cousin, Chase this summer. Once he got the hang of it, he really liked it and thought he'd like to try playing. We enrolled him in a batting camp at Faulkner in July and after that he was hooked. It was very obvious from the first time he picked up a bat that he was a natural. Our nephew, Chase plays travel ball with a team from Prattville. We asked the coach if Daniel could just start coming to practices so he could begin learning the game. After 4 or 5 practices, Daniel played with the travel team at a weekend tournament. Following the tournament, he led the team in doubles and RBI's! There is still a lot he has to learn, but it is amazing how well he's doing not to have ever played baseball before in his life.
Daniel started trying for the high school team a week ago and today he goes for the batting part. I'm hoping we'll find out this week if he makes the team or not. The coach seemed impressed with him at the fielding tryouts. Batting is what he does the best, so if the coach already likes him, he'll really like him after batting practice today. Good Luck Today Daniel!
