Season is starting soon

Logan is looking pretty sharp today.  They had an intra-squad scrimmage yesterday and he was really driving the ball.  The coach gave him an extra long look at pitcher and he did great.  I think he'll get some innings this year.  We started last year with basically just three pitchers.  By the end of the season, we had 4 solid pitchers. 

This year, I think we've got those four, plus at least two others.  It will make a big difference at tournament time.

Logan has really established himself as one of the team's better players.  This time last year, not so much.  In fact, I think the coach had him grouped with some of the weaker players when the season started.  Throughout the season, though, the coach was impressed with his coachability.  By the end of the year, Logan had secured a starting position (CF) and was hitting leadoff.

This year, Logan has really elevated his game.  So have a lot of other kids on the team and around the league, though.  So, relative to his peers, who knows. 

At this point, all the pre-season speculation in the world doesn't amount to much.  It's how they perform under game conditions that matters.  All last year, Logan turned it up a notch at gametime.  If he does that this year, things should be pretty eventful.
