Summer baseball is over for YSSS; he played on a 16U team (mostly made up of HS teammates) and an 18U team. All in all, he played really well, competed and, most importantly, got his confidence back. Neither team was a killer...SoulSlam did his best (as Asst. Coach x 2) too instill some baseball into these young men. Enjoyed coaching the 16U team; if you ever see SoulSlam at a HS game I am far away, not anywhere near the dugouts. Too many of those parents if you ask me. Good bunch of kids...not too much baseball knowledge so it was a learning experience for many. The 18U team was the remnants of last fall's 16U team. They brought on a bunch of HS seniors in the spring that apparently stopped playing HS ball. IMO, it's because these guys couldn't/wouldn't fit into a team. HC is a good guy, but the last couple of games I came to there was another guy there that was the quintessential "rec coach". In the immortal words of somebody "I've forgotten more about baseball than this guy will ever know". If he's around in fall, we won't.
Highlight of season was last game for 16U for YSSS: three (3) doubles in three (3) ABs, stolen base, two (2) RBIs, three (3) runs scored. Great day at plate.
