CBT Gets to Pitch!

This past week CBT got to pitch.  He's been wanting to, but has had to wait his turn.

Pitching is so nerve-wracking to parents, especially in pee-wee.  Those strike zones are so tiny. For anyone who has never had a kid playing pee wee or doesn't remember, the goal at this age is just to get it over the plate even if the batters get hits.  Then, the defense is supposed to hold them.  To me, it just seems like so much pressure.  

He stepped right up.  I didn't know how he would do because he really hasn't practiced that much.  I guess he was throwing strikes because they got two hits off him, which resulted in runs.  That frustrated him a little.  

Another guy hit it right to him.  Not a good idea - he fielded it and threw it to first for an out.  He then struck out another two batters.  Whew ! I was so glad that was over.  It can be a long inning when your child walks in the 5 run limit.  Not that that has ever happened to me.  Ok.  Maybe once.  

The look at on his face when he got that last strike was priceless.  Maybe it was just me that felt the pressure.
