Baseball!!!

Andrew decided last fall that he wanted to play catcher. We signed him up for several clinics from December until the start of spring ball.
Learning the catching position with a runner on 1st base. Notice his hand behind the glove to more quickly get the ball out in case he has to throw to 2nd on the steal.
This is a drill to get up and into the throwing position.

Learning to block.

Watch it to the glove!
Here is Andrew in his first game. Looks good! The black catchers gear above was borrowed. Below he looks good in the gear Santa brought him for Christmas.
