We taught Ryker about the 4-seam fastball this weekend.
It brings me more joy than you might ever know!
His recreation baseball coach put him on the mound game one.
I panicked.
We hadn't taught him how to pitch at all.
Hadn't taught him about hips, legs, elbow, shoulder, how to hold the ball, where to release the ball... any of it.
I told him that we will teach one pitch each week.
Right now, he's focusing on the 4-seam.
This weekend, we'll teach him the circle changeup.
In a couple of weeks, we'll teach him the 2-seam.
That's where it will end.
NO breaking balls until he's at least 16.
