MODERATORS
My kid was quite small for his age when he was in little league, and he was awful at baseball - I think he maybe got 2 or 3 hits the entire time he was playing, but because he was so small, he had a really tiny strike zone, and he pretty quickly realized that if he just never swung at anything, he'd get on base every single time. It was kind of funny, in a sad kind of way.
Hey, if it works, it works. A big power swinger that makes contact 1/10 times, but strikes out 9/10 times is less of a team asset than a small speedy little guy who never swings and gets on base 10/10 times.
Hell, half the time with smart base running, stealing 2nd is a freebie.
There's a "getting to first base" joke in there somewhere.
Dang, you're Moneyball'ing your kid?
Sounds awesome!
