Davis recently finished his first year of any organized sport. He has been the first of our children to brave sports and he has set the trend. Shortly after the season started the girls where wishing they had signed up for softball. It was mostly the treats after the game that they wanted but I'll take it. Jack is excited for t-ball next year and Luke would not leave the helmets and bats alone. Davis struggled the first part of the year but we put a lot of work in and by the end of the season he was batting first and playing catcher.
What great form. Tony Pena eat your heart out.
Look at that stance. Back elbow up, feat spread, and legs loose ready to drive the ball.
Back foot down, hands through the zone rolling his wrists, and driving with his hips...an all star in the making. So what if his eyes are closed. The really good ones do that all the time.
I would like to say these next four pics are of Davis going through the motions in his mind of fielding the ball and throwing it over to first from deep in the hole at shortstop but he was actually dancing around in between batters. :( It sure makes for a good laugh for the coaches when one of the Dads is yelling from behind the fence, "Davis! Stop dancing and pay attention!"
It kind of looks like he is ice skating.
He's getting ready for his lift off prior to the triple lutz.
and the tuck is marvelous! He stuck it! It's gold for Wolfley!
Next season we work on the throw from third to first and the triple toe loop.
