Tobias has been playing lots of sports, with me, with Opa and at school, but other than swimming lessons he has not been part of any organized form of sports… yet! As I wrote just last month Santa prepared Tobias for baseball. The season starts in March but practice continues throughout the winter, indoors! I did not know that, but found out by contacting the team :-). Anyway, Tobias is welcome to try it our so, that’s what we did last week. This picture was taken during practice. They are practicing “fielding”.
Tobias did quite well. The hardest part, for all kids it seemed, it catching the ball. Throwing seems to be easier, although aiming is quite the challenge. Tobias did quite well. They also practiced hitting from a tee and a toss (not a real picth, just tossing up the ball from the side). Tobias did well both ways and has quite a swing on him with the real bat as well. Santa gave him a wooden bat, but here they used aluminum bats which are lighter and from my estimate a little shorter too. Also the balls are slightly different: lighter and with a cushiony cover. I guess we’ll have to get him one of those balls as well.
The most important thing: Tobias had a great time! Today is his second practice session…
