Hello All,
Only been Lurking for a short time. Been reading a lot of threads here and there. My son is turning 9 in the fall and will be moving on to his first season of kid pitch in the Babe Ruth League and will do his first run during the Fall Ball here in Florida. He's been through 1 season of T-Ball and the last 2 years of Machine Pitch. He's doing well and is on one of the All Star teams carrying on after the regular season. He works hard and practices every day at home with the pitch back and I also have a bucket setup in the back yard to help him with his throwing accuracy. His hitting is pretty good, but could always be better. He hasn't yet been up against kid pitch yet so I know he'll basically be starting from scratch again.
I need help and insight on things I can do to make certain he's learning the right way to do things and not continuing to practice the wrong way and developing bad habits that will prevent him from continuing to get better. My knowledge and skill at baseball is pretty limited. I played 1 season of Little league when I was about 8-9(1978) and gave up on it and lost all interest back when MLB was going on strike every other season it seemed. A lot has changed since then to say the least and through my son, I've begun to develop the interest again, if at least in Little League.
Aside from this forum, where else can I turn to learn techniques, skills, equipment information(the whole wood, composite, alloy bat thing really sent me spinning), differences in leagues etc.
Thanks for so far, giving me a pretty good insight on what I don't know and need to learn more about.
