Kyler Baseball

Kyler had a pretty rough baseball season.  However, we were very proud of him because he kept trying and never gave up!  Kyler can hit basically every ball Kenney pitches to him, no matter how fast or how bad the pitch  might be.  For some reason, when he gets in a game, he loses all his confidence and can't seem to hit anything!!  He struck out so many times it was defeating, but he kept trying.  Occasionally he would get walked or he would foul off a ball, but more often than not, he would strike out.  It was heartbreaking to watch.  He would be so disappointed every time he got up to bat.  

Nana & Papa came to one of his games and noticed him struggling.  Papa asked if Kenney had had a chance to work with him, but with so many games every night of the week there was simply no time for Kenney to practice with him.  Papa offered to take the boys to his house that night and work with him the next day.  It was great!  The boys were super excited, and Nana was nice enough to let Bentley tag along too!  We just had Mackenzie left at home; it was eerily quiet.  The kids were able to go swimming and practice with Papa.  

Finally on the last game of the season when Oma & Papa Dude were hear with Zadi, Kyler HIT THE BALL!!  It was so exciting.  His team was on a hitting streak, and it didn't end with him!  He was so excited and so were all of us.  His defense was pretty good through the season.  He had a couple good catches and stops as well as a few close catches and stops.  He was quick to be the relay man to get the ball from the outfield and could get the ball to homeplate faster than anyone else.  Like I said with Damon it was so fun watching the boys play together and get outs together and run bases together.  I hope they always enjoy playing with one another.

Kyler played second base every game and did a great job!

His posture is horrible!!  He looks like an 80 year old man out there, and he's 10!!

I love seeing Kenney out there helping with the boys.  They love him being on the field with them!

 

 

This is Kyler's hit, you probably need to mute the volume. I got really excited and really loud. The video isn't the best, but I was just so happy for him!

He got a couple foul balls.  This one he hit really close to  me right after Damon did the same thing!!

Kyler never got thrown out stealing bases, some of the other boys seemed so slow, but Kyler and Damon were never even close to being caught.

He made it home!!
