Monday was a great outing for our team. We saw some great pitching and were able to make some nice plays in the field. Our hitting and field positioning was lacking and will be a focus area for our team at practice this week.

In the next upcoming weeks I will be "breaking the ice" with some players that have never pitched before, as I did on Monday. It is important to understand that for some of these players pitching is a whole new part of the game. Struggles will happen and the coaching staff will use their best judgment to identify if they need to be relieved or if they can stay in.
We will actually be able to practice in the infield this week which should be a huge benefit to help communicate to the players game theory and positioning in the field.
As always, please let either Jay, Mike, or myself know if you have any concerns.
See you Friday night at practice!
