6th grade baseball

After so many nights and weekends spent watching Maxwell play, his rec baseball career has come to an end. What fun it has been to watch him play and improve so much since his first t-ball season in 2016! He’s a great baseball player and I really hope he sticks with it and plays at the Junior High next year.

This year was fun because Robert was able to put together a team of all 6th graders which included several of Maxwell’s buddies. This was a team of really good kids and they had fun playing together. Maxwell was a leader on the team and proved himself game after game to be a valuable member of the team. Along with Pryor, he was our best pitcher and I’d say he was definitely our best catcher.

I just really love to watch him play. His awareness on the field is superb and he knows where the play is at all times. GJ loves to watch him play too!

It wasn’t easy for Robert to make it work to coach – it’s a huge time commitment – but I think he’d agree when I say it was the very best time commitment he could have made this spring. I hope Maxwell always remembers these last two years of baseball with Dad as coach. I’m so proud of both of them.

The team ended up about in the middle of the pack with some great wins…including in the first round of the tournament when Luke hit a single homerun over the fence to win the game! Pretty exciting!!

A great season for a great kid.

I’m so proud of you Maxwell!
