Very good numbers for sure, you have every reason to be proud. Is he a righty or lefty?

Not so fast. The Mets can use some good pitching, and that would put him in the heart of a major media market. Think of all the ad and promo money.

I'll be his manager if you want.

I hear a bidding war brewing...

(On that note: SBC Park in San Francisco is very "pitcher friendly..." let's talk signing bonus!)

Thats really cool. If he keeps showing that kind of promise, I smell pitching camp so he can learn to throw without hurting his arm. When you catch him...do you wear a cup? lol My oldest put me on the ground for a good 15 minutes one day showing me how he could throw. And he wasn't a pitcher.

I like baseball.. good sport for kids

Considering that the Cubs relief staff walked in the winning run twice in the last three games, I'd say there was a real need in the Windy City also.

The best place to play ball is in the friendly confines.

He's a righty, I tried tying his right arm behind him whan he was a baby, bit it didn't work. (j/k) He already has been to several piching camps, the coach he works wtih now has sent 5 players to the major leagues. He is a former catcher, they always seem to make the best coaches. Yes, i do wear a cup when I catch him, although he has excellent control. This winter, his fastball was clocked at 72 MPH....

With the mound set at 46', that is roughly equivalent to a 90 mph fastball at the Major League level.

He only had 3 hits off of him last year when he was throwing in the low 60's, and that was by kids a year older than him, I doubt if he'll give up a hit this year.

I know that you and Carmen would like him to play for the Tribe, but go for the money and send him to the Yankees
. He can earn lot's of cash and probable get a World Series ring also !!
Don't all parents want the best for their children .
