Baseball is finally back!
8 man practices have finally begun. I am too ready for the season to come around. I plan to be on varsity this year. I have to come out ready to whoop some butt, play hard, and prove the coaches that I should be moved up.
My day for 8 man is tomorrow but it would've been today, but I have physical therapy... Hopefully this hip problem will go away because I know I can play baseball with it but not football. I'm beyond ready to just give it my all for this team!
My arm's feelin' good which is something because it always hurt when i threw last year. This year I am stronger. I am faster. I am better then I have ever been.
This year I have set goals to try to reach at the end of the season!
- Be the team leader.
- Be on Varsity.
- Put the team over myself. Do whatever it takes to win as a team.
- Have a batting average over 350.
- Have an OBP over 400.
- Have less than 5 errors in the field.
- Have no more than 1 strike out a game.
- Have more than 15 extra base hits.
- If I pitch have a low ERA.
- JUST SUCCEED AT EVERYTHING.
- Be a GREAT ballplayer, not just an average ballplayer.
I am determined to be Great, I am determined to go somewhere and play ball in college. I don't care if its a small school or a big school, I just wanna succeed and get somewhere to play the game that I truly love the most.
I have to prove myself this year, this is a stepping stone for me. I can't let anyone down this year like I did last year. Even though last year I did alright, that's just alright. It's NOT good enough. These goals that I have set are reachable, I just have to push myself to not only reach these goals but do better!
My passion for this game started when I was a baby. It grew and grew as I played Dixie Youth, Middle School ball and now I'm here in High School and it continues to grow. I've seen some people quit playing it because they weren't getting the amount of playing time that they thought they deserved, but you know what they didn't try hard enough. No matter what I will try my best. If I'm in a slump I'll try even harder to get of it. And when I'm out of that slump I will continue working as much as I can do to be GREAT.
This year our team is going into a new division/league with all new teams. Boy am I ready for our team to show out and prove that we're not the regular A.L. Brown team. We are better and we will prove that we are.
BASEBALL SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND I'M READY FOR IT!!
