Baseball Notebook: Grandson Wins First Start
| 17
|
Matthew my grandson won his first start in his first year of live arm pitching. He pitched 2 innings and struck out 6 batters while walking 9. He made a great play on the first pitch of the game when the batter hit a comebacker to him. He was falling away to the other side of the mound but recovered in time to retire the batter.
Matthew said he hit the other team's pitcher and that same pitcher tried to hit Matthew when he batted. He may have been wild but by end of the season I hope the wildness has been corralled and he can pitch even better as the season goes on.
Here is a clip of the first play of the game taken by his father with a video camera:
